Academy of Science

Fellows are elected by their peers for their outstanding scholarly achievements. They are distinguished individuals from all branches of learning who have made remarkable contributions in the arts, the humanities and the sciences, as well as in Canadian public life. This recognition by the RSC is the highest honour in the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences and Sciences.

More than 300 researchers and scholars from UBC have been elected as Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada, including those from the Academy of Science listed below.
