Welcome to our new Council, Committee and Group members

We are pleased to formally welcome all newly elected members of our Council, Committees, and Groups, who began their terms at our 2025 AGM in May. A total of 43 new members were elected, with 9 joining Council. A first round of meetings have already been held for Council and most of the Committees.

I believe that LSW is an essential part of Welsh civil society and a vital advocate for the value of knowledge and learning in Wales. At a time of many challenges to our pursuit of knowledge, I value the opportunity to contribute to shaping the activities of the Society.

Professor Karin Wahl-Jorgensen

Our Council now has 21 members, and we have a membership of 93 across all governance committees and groups. We maintain strong female representation throughout, at 55%.

Today EDI is probably more important than ever. Minorities in the UK are ever more marginalised and disadvantaged. The Learned Society of Wales has the opportunity to counter the current trend.

Professor Sheila Hunt

We extend our sincere thanks to those who completed their terms or stepped down at the 2025 AGM.

I wanted to join the Council and Human Resources Committee of the Learned Society of Wales, to support its mission to promote excellence, foster interdisciplinary learning, and advance a more inclusive and vibrant intellectual life in Wales.

Professor Pedr ap Llwyd
