Public Evening Lectures

public lectures

SCI's Public Evening Lectures are free and open to everyone, whether you are a member, non-member or guest. They are part of an initiative led by the Membership Affairs Committee (MAC) and represent a new way in which SCI aims to reach members of the public and provide discourse on SCI-linked topics as well as popular topical subjects.

Coming up

A new programme of Public Evening Lectures will be held later in 2012.
