CSaP

The first Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs was appointed in 1782. It took another 227 years for the Foreign Office to appoint its first Chief Scientific Adviser. We are delighted that CSaP's sixth Distinguished Lecture will be given by the first holder of this historic post, Professor David Clary FRS.

Professor Clary advises the Foreign Secretary, Ministers and officials on science, technology and innovation. His work ensures that the FCO's work on key scientific and engineering issues, such as climate change, energy, food security, counter-terrorism and counter-proliferation undergoes proper scientific challenge.

In addition to being the FCO Chief Scientific Adviser, Professor Clary is President of Magdalen College Oxford and Professor of Chemistry at the University of Oxford.
