Associate Fellow Derrick Gosselin elected Fellow of Royal Academy for Overseas Sciences
Associate Fellow Professor Derrick Gosselin has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy for Overseas Sciences.
The Royal Academy for Overseas Science (RAOS) is a Belgian multi-disciplinary forum that contributes to the promotion of research and the dissemination of scientific knowledge about overseas countries.
Professor Gosselin has been awarded a Fellowship within the Engineering and Technical Sciences section of RAOS.
He said: ‘As the international geopolitical context becomes more volatile, uncertain and complex, I believe it is a great privilege to be invited to join this renowned Royal Academy for Overseas Sciences to contribute to the strategic conversations.
‘Membership of RAOS will also allow me to further contribute to the mission of Green Templeton College as a centre of international leading thinking, and to support students and fellows alike. I believe ROAS is very similar in structure to the multidisciplinary nature of Green Templeton College.’
Alongside the Engineering and Technical Sciences section, the RAOS also has sections for Human Sciences and Natural and Medical Sciences. It is the only Federal and bilingual academy in Belgium and comprises fellow and associate members who are active overseas and who come from all parts of the country.
Professor Gosselin is Professor of Strategy and Marketing at Ghent University and the founder and director of the Institute for Futures Research at Ghent University, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration. He specialises in complex (long term) decision making in turbulent and uncertain environments applied to business (strategy – marketing – innovation) and government (energy – water – technology).
He is also an Oxford Martin Associate Fellow.
✨ Come behind the scaffolding with us.
We were given rare access to the Radcliffe Observatory restoration project, climbing onto the roof to see the incredible conservation work taking place behind the scenes.
From spectacular views across Oxford to the Observatory`s intricate zodiac carvings, we discovered details that are normally hidden from view.
Join us as we explore one of Oxford`s most iconic landmarks!
Earlier this summer, we were delighted to welcome audiences to our inaugural Garden Play, with a series of sold-out performances of Shakespeare`s `As You Like It` set in our beautiful college grounds.
Our gardens became the Forest of Arden as students, staff, alumni and the wider Oxford community came together to enjoy open-air theatre in a truly unique setting. Even better, the production has received fantastic reviews from Oxford`s student press.
A huge thank you to everyone who performed in and supported this wonderful initiative.
These peaceful moments around college were captured by work experience student Izzie.
They celebrate the beauty of the college gardens and the simple joy of taking a closer look!
Thank you Izzie for sharing your perspective with us 🌸

As conservation work continues on the Radcliffe Observatory, we were delighted to climb to the very top of the impressive scaffold and enjoy a unique perspective on this iconic landmark.
Along the way, we uncovered some fascinating details—and a few cheeky surprises—carved into parts of the stonework. ✨
These hidden marks offer a glimpse into the stories, craftsmanship, and personalities that have become part of the building’s rich history. Stay tuned as we continue to share more behind-the-scenes moments from this remarkable conservation project.
