  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...]
