events

The Ri organises a range of science events throughout the year that are open to all members of the public. The Ri philosophy is to facilitate dialogue between scientists and the public, through a mix of talks, discussions, debates and interactive workshops. Our message is simple: science is not reserved exclusively for scientists but plays a role in everyone’s lives, and we hope that we can encourage people to take an interest in the important scientific issues that are facing us today.

In recent years the Ri has covered a wide range of topics, from ground-breaking scientific discoveries in chemistry and physics, to genetics, medical and health issues, maths, technology, the arts, history of science, and even the science of ice-cream.
