About the Ri
The Royal Institution (Ri) is an independent charity, and our purpose is to create opportunities for as many people as possible to think more deeply about science and its place in our lives. We’ve been doing this for well over 200 years and it’s more important today than ever.
The Ri sees digital as a means to deepen our relationships with current audiences and increase their reach and diversity, as well as generating a growing income stream. Our digital channels bring thought-provoking science and our rich heritage to millions of people online, many of whom may never set foot in our historic and iconic building in London.
Through our YouTube channel, we have already established ourselves as a world-leader in in-depth, longform science video. Our monthly podcasts and online communities are growing fast, and we are reaching new audiences across all of our digital platforms.
