Events at the Royal Institution
Lectures, discussions and other events
The Ri hosts public events throughout the year covering the latest science from healthcare to quantum physics. Scientists, policymakers, artists and writers all speak as part of the Ri’s adult programme with the aim of bringing together many points of view on science.
The Ri also organises a number of events in the daytime for schools, and is the home of the famous annual Ri Christmas Lectures.
The Ri’s building in Mayfair is currently undergoing a massive project of refurbishment and renewal. The Ri will reopen in late 2007, but until then its programme of events continues off-site.
