Through its ideas, research and 27,000-strong Fellowship it seeks to understand and enhance human capability so we can close the gap between today’s reality and people’s hopes for a better world. Projects:About RSA's Action and Research Centre We combine practical experimentation with rigorous research to create a unique programme of work. ARC's approach is inspired by the RSA's history of solving big problems by unleashing the human potential for enterprise and creativity. In this spirit, we draw widely on the knowledge and experience of the RSA's FellowshipPublic Services, Arts and Social ChangeEnterprise and DesignEducationSocial BrainEventsThe RSA hosts one of the UK’s leading public events programmes, delivering over 150 free lectures, talks, screenings and debates a year. Our events are free and open to the public, thanks to the support of our Fellows. These events provide a platform for some of the world’s leading thinkers, expert minds, and inspirational practitioners, and encourage intelligent public debate of some of today’s most pressing social challenges.FellowshipThe RSA Fellowship is a network of people from a wide range of backgrounds, united by a desire to build a better society. There are over 27,000 Fellows in more than 100 countries, working together for the benefit of their communities.RSA Catalyst provides money and expertise to Fellow-led ideas that aim to have a positive social impact. It gives £100,000 every year to projects and ventures, and connects them to support from within the Fellowship. HouseThe House, designed by Robert Adam in the early 1770s, is the historic home of the RSA. A famous centre for Enlightenment thinking, the building has been the intellectual and social home of some of the greatest thinkers and social activists of the past 200 years. Today it is also recognised as one of the most exclusive and sought after locations in London for a wide range of commercial and social events.
