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.

Maddie Bennett from Bartholomew School in Eynsham spent last week with the communications team at college and found some friendly faces too!
Last week, the college welcomed guests for a special afternoon marking the launch of the Pirie Society.
The event celebrated the college’s new legacy society and recognised those who are considering, or have chosen, to leave a gift in their will to the college.
Their generosity will help shape the future of the college for generations to come.
