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.
Alumni in Switzerland came together in Geneva on Swiss National Day for the first in-person gathering of our college`s Switzerland Alumni Group.
After the group’s inaugural online meeting earlier in the year, the gathering was a chance to finally put faces to names, reconnect over memories of Green Templeton and Oxford and hear where life has taken everyone since.
Conversation ranged from career paths and professional exchanges to life in Switzerland and ideas for the growing alumni group.
Josephine Agyeman-Duah (DPhil Women’s and Reproductive Health, 2018), Chair of the Alumni Group, said:
‘It was splendid to reconnect with GTC alumni from different periods and to celebrate Swiss National Day together in Geneva. Our first in-person gathering was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen connections and our GTC alumni community in Switzerland.’
The group is now looking to establish a committee and hopes to connect with other Oxford and Cambridge alumni groups in Switzerland.

Happy International Cat Day! 🐾
It’s been quite the year for Vincent!
After several years of making the college his home, we are delighted to say that we have officially adopted him. A familiar and much-loved face around the college grounds, he has a special way of bringing smiles to everyone he meets.
We’re so proud to officially call him ours!
Happy International Cat Day, Vincent! 💚🐈⬛
✨ 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 🌸
