Professor Gianaurelio Cuniberti has become a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), the learned society in the United Kingdom with the goal of advancing the chemical sciences. The designation Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) is given to a group of elected members of the society who have made major contributions to chemistry and other interface disciplines. Achieving FRSC status in the chemical profession denotes to the wider community a high level of accomplishment in chemistry and an outstanding contribution to the advancement of the chemical sciences.

"I am honored to become a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry which has more than 300 years of glorious history and is the oldest chemical society in the world." says Cuniberti. The RSC was formed from the amalgamation of the Chemical Society, the Royal Institute of Chemistry, the Faraday Society, and the Society for Analytical Chemistry with a new Royal Charter and the dual role of learned society and professional body. At its inception, the Society had a combined membership of 34,000 in the UK and a further 8,000 abroad.
