The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge, known simply as the Royal Society, is a learned society for science, and is possibly the oldest such society in existence. Founded in November 1660, it was granted a Royal Charter by King Charles II as the "Royal Society of London". The Society acts as the UK's Academy of Sciences, and funds research fellowships and scientific start-up companies.

The current Royal Society President is Sir Paul Nurse, who took up the position on 30 November 2010.

Since 1967, the Society has been based at 6-9 Carlton House Terrace.

Actually it should be FRCS, as it is Fellow of Royal College of Surgeons.
