The IAA is an independent, non-governmental organization that brings together the world's foremost experts in the disciplines of astronautics to recognize the accomplishments of their peers, to explore and discuss cutting-edge issues in space research and technology, and to provide direction and guidance in the non-military uses of space and the ongoing exploration of the solar system.

The academy's mission is to foster the development of astronautics for peaceful purposes, to recognize individuals who have distinguished themselves in a branch of science or technology related to astronautics, and to provide a program through which the membership can contribute to international endeavors and cooperation in the advancement of aerospace science, in cooperation with national science or engineering academies.

Founded in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1960, the IAA has approximately 1,200 members from 84 countries, including leaders in space science and engineering, academia and industry. Show less

The OpEd Project’s Public Voices Fellowship is a national initiative first piloted at Yale, Stanford and Princeton Universities, and now rolling out in partnership with top universities and foundations across the nation.

The goal is to dramatically increase the public impact of our nation's top underrepresented thinkers, and to ensure our ideas help shape the important conversations of our age. The root problem is not a lack of knowledge or experience, but a culture in which minority… Show more

The OpEd Project’s Public Voices Fellowship is a national initiative first piloted at Yale, Stanford and Princeton Universities, and now rolling out in partnership with top universities and foundations across the nation.

The goal is to dramatically increase the public impact of our nation's top underrepresented thinkers, and to ensure our ideas help shape the important conversations of our age. The root problem is not a lack of knowledge or experience, but a culture in which minority voices (especially women) rarely have the inside information, high-level support and inside connections to become influential on a large scale. The OpEd Project has successfully led programs with scores of major organizations and universities, and has had stunning results. Show less

The AFRL Fellows program selects annual recipients from among nominations put forward by colleagues and supervisors. A Fellows designation is the highest AFRL honor possible, with just 178 (~0.6 percent) of the Lab's scientists and engineers in research and development and technical program management having been chosen to receive the title. To be considered, candidates must have demonstrated ongoing, significant contributions to the state of the art in their field, and must also show a high… Show more

The AFRL Fellows program selects annual recipients from among nominations put forward by colleagues and supervisors. A Fellows designation is the highest AFRL honor possible, with just 178 (~0.6 percent) of the Lab's scientists and engineers in research and development and technical program management having been chosen to receive the title. To be considered, candidates must have demonstrated ongoing, significant contributions to the state of the art in their field, and must also show a high probability of even greater accomplishments in the future. The applications are thoroughly reviewed and vetted by AFRL's highest senior technical leadership before being presented to AFRL's commander, who makes the final selection.

Each Fellow receives a special grant of $150,000 per year for two years -- over and above any funds normally managed by the Fellow -- to be used in further development of their research. A Fellows designation also affords each honoree a greater level of autonomy and freedom in his or her work for AFRL. Show less

The RSE Fellows represent the full range of physical and life sciences, arts, humanities, social sciences, education, professions, industry, business and public life. Those who are nominated, and then invited to join, have undergone rigorous assessment of their achievements, professional standing and societal contribution. Fellows, who give of their time freely, play a fundamental role in enabling the RSE to deliver its mission ‘Knowledge Made Useful’, contributing to the cultural, economic and social well-being of Scotland and the wider world.

Becoming a Corresponding fellow of the RSE

All candidates for fellowship must be nominated by an existing fellow, and supported by a further two. Nominations then go through a five-stage selection process, to ensure that those elected are leading lights in their respective fields. The over-riding requirement for selection is excellence, measured against three criteria: outstanding achievement, professional standing and societal contribution. Only when all three are satisfied is a candidate endorsed as a fellow by The RSE.

The RSE, and by association its fellows, delivers its mission by:

— Inspiring and supporting young talent through a wide-ranging program of research grants and awards
— engaging the public across Scotland on key contemporary issues through its outreach program and a wide-ranging program of public events
— providing impartial advice and expertise to inform policy and practice through in-depth examination of major issues and providing expert comment on topical matters
— promoting Scotland’s interests overseas through building relationships with sister academies across the world and facilitating research collaborations

The RSE was established in 1783 for “the advancement of learning and useful knowledge.” New fellows are following in the footsteps of Benjamin Franklin, Sir Walter Scott, and Professor Charlotte Auerbach. Show less
