Public Evening Lectures are free and open to all. They are part of an SCI initiative led by the Membership Affairs Committee to reach members of the public and provide discourse on SCI-linked topics and relevant popular subjects.

Our current series focuses on sustainability, with lectures exploring food security, climate change, fuel shortage and the need to find alternative sources of energy to fossil fuels. SCI believes that science can and must play a part in finding sustainable solutions to these problems.
