The Royal Institution: Talks all about mathematics

The Royal Institution was founded to introduce new technologies and teach science to the general public through lectures and demonstrations. Humphry Davy, one of the first Professors, established scientific research as a crucial part of the Ri’s identity, something never envisaged by the founders of the institution.

Over the last two centuries our building and labs have been home to famous scientists, such as Michael Faraday, who made discoveries here which have helped shape the modern world.

The Ri has been bringing science to the masses for over 200 years from our building in London, and since 2009 on our YouTube channel. We love what we do and we want to be doing more of it. Your support would mean the world to us, and we could bring you more talks, more explosions, more top notch scientists and more beautiful animations.
