Darwin Now
Celebrating the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth

Darwin Now is the British Council’s contribution to the international celebration of the 200 year anniversary of Darwin’s birth and the 150 year anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species.

Charles Darwin’s works continues to influence biology and other branches of science today. His work gives us a perspective on some of the most important questions that face us in the 21st century. One man, and one book, came to symbolise the new biology of evolution. Charles Darwin, born in 1809, was 50 when he published perhaps the most famous scientific work ever written.

For the occasion of his bicentenary, we are delighted to organise a series of events to mark this anniversary.

July 2009 On July 18, 2009 Opening of the Darwin Now exhibition at Info Centre Triglavska roža Bled at Triglav National Park. Darwin Orientation Run for families is scheduled for Saturday, July 18 at 11 a.m.
