Royal Society of Canada
The Royal Society of Canada (RSC; French: Société royale du Canada, SRC), also known as the Academies of Arts, Humanities, and Sciences of Canada (French: Académies des arts, des lettres et des sciences du Canada), is Canada's national academy of scholars, scientists, and artists. It serves a dual purpose: to recognize distinguished achievement in the arts, humanities, and sciences, and to draw on that expertise in the public interest: advising governments and the public on matters of national importance, promoting learning and research in both official languages, and supporting emerging scholars and artists.
