  The Royal Institution of Great Britain 

  http://www.rigb.org/registrationControl?action=home

  welcome Welcome to the Ri – celebrating science research and science communication for over 200 years. For over 200 years, the Ri has been 'diffusing science for the common purposes of life'. A range of ... activities takes place under one roof, from schools lectures to providing a forum for the general public, through to a heritage programme, an arts-science initiative, a media centre and state-of-the-art chemistry labs. The Ri is a home for everyone interested in science, irrespective of whether they have a scientific background or not. Our vision is that a visit to the Ri should be as stimulating and interesting as a visit to a concert or the cinema, yet even more relevant and controversial. Currently, the Royal Institution's Grade I listed building on Albemarle Street is closed for refurbishment. Our extensive range of activities - including programmes for the public and schools, and science research - will continue during this time. latest news The Niche Prize Could you create an arre   [More...] [Less...]

  A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Members and Friends. Welcome to our brand new website in this our Society's Silver Jubilee year. My name is Paolo Brenni and I have been involved in the SIS since its ... foundation in 1983. In July 2005, I was honoured to be elected President and I repeat the pledge I made then, that I will work as much as possible with the Committee to develop the activities of the Society, to increase its worldwide membership and to maintain the high scholarly standard of the Bulletin. Over the last quarter century, the Scientific Instrument Society and its publications have played a very important role for historians, museum curators, collectors and enthusiasts....like you and like me. I am sure that in the future the Society will continue to be a beacon in the world of historic scientific instruments. If you're not a member yet, you can join now.
