Royal Economic Society
The Royal Economic Society was founded in 1890 to promote and foster the study of
economic science
Today, the main objectives of the Society are:
• To ensure that its scientific journals are regularly published, widely read and circulated,
have high impact and attract an adequate supply of high-<strong>quality</strong> <strong>papers</strong> from an
international range of authors.
• To organise an Annual Conference, and to ensure that it provides an excellent forum
for both general lectures and more specialised presentations.
• To provide younger members of the Society with adequate support to enable them
to undertake and disseminate their research, attend conferences and workshops and
enhance their professional skills.
• To enable those in schools to learn about economics, particularly its applications and to
foster the development of their own skills in economic reasoning and understanding.
The Society provides financial support to individuals and academic bodies to assist in the
progress and further study of economics. Grants are provided to perform projects that conform
to the Society’s objectives and enable recipients to meet research expenses and the costs of
attendance at conferences where they are presenting the results of their research.
Details of the Council’s policies on awarding grants, fellowships and prizes are published on the
Society’s website.
In particular, the Society assists postgraduate students to attend the RES Annual Conference,
to present and discuss their research and provides annual one-year fellowships for a number of
third and fourth year students undertaking teaching and research.
