Applications to become a Fellow of the Royal Economic Society (RES) are now open for individuals who have made a significant contribution to the economics discipline, whether in academia, teaching (including schools), policy, the private sector, charity sector and beyond.
Fellow is the Royal Economic Society’s highest level of membership and is granted to those who have made a significant contribution to the discipline. RES Fellows hold positions of influence in our community and demonstrate invaluable economic knowledge, expertise and a commitment to promoting the vision, objectives and values of the RES.
Accepted Fellows, who will be able to use the postnominals FREcon, will benefit from professional recognition and a range of benefits as we work towards a common goal: that economics be understood, advanced and applied for the good of society and the world around us.
RES President Prof Sir Chris Pissarides said:
“It’s an exciting opportunity for researchers, professional economists, policymakers and teachers to join a community that shares our commitment to advancing our discipline and increasing the positive impact of economics.”

“I am thrilled to introduce this new Fellows programme, recognising economists across sectors who have made a real difference to our subject. This is more than just a title—it’s an invitation to be part of a dynamic and influential community that is helping to advance economics for the benefit of all. We look forward to welcoming our inaugural Fellows and celebrating their achievements.”
