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.
The Radcliffe Observatory has stood for over 250 years.
But heritage requires care and the building now needs restoration to preserve it for future generations.
Support this work by joining the Radcliffe 100 and the Radcliffe 250.

The college is delighted to share the completion of the south landscaping at the Radcliffe Observatory 🌿
This new shared landscape sits at the heart of the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, made possible by the Stephen A. Schwarzman Foundation.
Work continues on Phase 1 of the Radcliffe Observatory project, including a new main entrance via the East Wing and improved accessibility with step-free access to all entrances.

Congratulations to Julietta Camahort (MSc in Financial Economics, 2025), Louis Corrigan (Clinical Medicine, 2024) and Julian Schoeberl (MSc in Modelling for Global Health, 2025) who have been selected for the Oxford Blues Boats and will face Cambridge this weekend.
Julietta will row for the women’s crew in seat #4, Louis takes the seat as Cox, and Julian joins the men’s crew as the #2 seat.
Wishing them and the Dark Blues the very best of luck 💙
🦖🦴 Major archaeological discovery at the Radcliffe Observatory 🦖🦴
What began as routine landscaping work on the front lawn has taken a rather unexpected turn…
Earlier this week, contractors uncovered what appear to be dinosaur bones.
Initial (very enthusiastic) assessments suggest the remains could belong to a previously unknown species, tentatively named Green Templetonosaurus.
We’ll share further updates as soon as we know more… 🦖
When the researcher becomes the patient.
In this thought-provoking reflection for The Times Magazine, Research Fellow Karl Smith Byrne shares what tackling cancer has taught him both in his work and in his own life.
Diagnosed with rectal cancer at just 27, Karl brings a rare dual perspective to his field, combining research with lived experience to advocate for greater focus on prevention and more patient-centred science.
A compelling insight into resilience and the future of cancer research.
