We wish you joy, peace and happiness this festive season. A big thank you to all our partners and sponsors, but most of all to you. We look forward to a wonderful New Year.

The annual Robert Boyle Winter School will take place In January. More information shortly.

2025 theme: Brain – past, present & future.

The Robert Boyle Schools provides a platform for inclusion of science in general cultural discourse in Ireland. Join us at our annual Winter School in January for a day or at our annual Summer School in May-June for a weekend of ideas, discussion and entertainment!


Ireland has a wonderful tradition of annual summer schools where adults can come together in a sociable environment to engage with culture, conversation and ideas. The Robert Boyle Schools was founded to celebrate our science heritage and explore the place of science in our lives through looking at current and future challenges. The founders had a belief that this widely encountered separation of science from culture was bad both for science and all other areas of our culture. The Robert Boyle Schools seeks to be a bridge between science and other aspects of culture.
