2025 theme – the Brain: past, present & future.

The Robert Boyle Winter School will take place on Saturday 25th January in the Minerva Suite, RDS – Dublin in association with the RDS Science Committee. Admission is free but must be prebooked. More info here.

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.
