Science Projects

Each year, we run global science projects to communicate messages around exciting or topical scientific issues, such as climate change and space exploration.

Our projects involve a variety of activities including exhibitions; workshops; educational activities, global debates; publications and other learning materials, designed to enthuse the wider public about the issues. We will be continuing our work in climate change throughout 2007 and beyond; and we will be looking forward to celebrating the anniversary of Darwin.
