You can buy membership for yourself and for family and friends!
Membership of the RI is open to everyone. You do not need to have a science qualification nor a scientific background. There are no formal pre-requisites for joining the Ri and no nomination process. All we ask is that you share our passion and enthusiasm for science and scientific debate.
By joining the RI you will become a member of an open, non-biased forum where you can listen to and engage with experts and other like-minded individuals in scientific debate, and offers the facilities to develop your personal or professional understanding of science.
Benefits of RI Membership include free entry to Friday Evening Discourses, special Members' rates for entry to all other public events and invitations to Members' Social Events.
