The concept provides a unique forum for the discussion of topical and thought-provoking scientific issues in a way that is much more relaxed, informal and accessible than a public lecture.
The whole idea of is to put scientists face to face with the public. It's not about educating the public; it's about giving people access to a side of our culture that they're not normally given access to.
No scientific background is necessary – just an interest in the topic for discussion. It provides an opportunity to debate the issues raised in an open forum whilst in a relaxed and informal environment.
