Anne Glover, former chief scientific adviser to the president of the European Commission, is to become the next president of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
The society announced Glover’s three-year appointment in a statement on 31 August. She will take over from outgoing president Jocelyn Bell Burnell, whose term encompassed referenda on both Scottish independence from the UK and Britain’s membership of the European Union.
Between 2012 and 2014, Glover served as the first and only scientific adviser to the president of the European Commission. She is a professor and dean at the University of Aberdeen, which she joined in 1983, as well as a fellow of both the Royal Society and the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
