Science Week

Birkbeck Science Week shares our world leading research with a wider audience

Science Week

Each year we organise a week of free public lectures and related events to share Birkbeck's internationally recognised science research.

In 2023 researchers from Biological Sciences, Earth and Planetary Sciences and Psychological Sciences explored subjects such as AI in biosciences, what the study of astrobiology can teach us about our Solar System and recent breakthroughs in educational neuroscience. The talks were free and available to attend in person in central London or as part of a global audience for the live-streamed events. The Rosalind Franklin Lecture, which celebrates the work and life of one of Birkbeck's most distinguished scientists, was also part of these events and was given by Professor Francesca Happé – watch the lecture recording.
