Cirencester Science & Technology Society

The Society arranges a programme of ten lectures per year for its membership of local scientists, technologists and engineers.  The speakers are drawn mainly from Universities and Research Councils, but also from Industry and Government.  The Society attempts to arrange lectures on a wide range of subjects, covering as many disciplines as possible each year.  Visitors are welcome to all our lectures, but are asked for a donation of £3 (£5 for the Public Lecture).  Students are free.  A report of each lecture is posted to the Lecture Reports page of this website shortly after each Lecture.

One of the lectures in each year’s programme is a Public Lecture.  For this event the Society invites a well-known speaker to give a lecture on a subject which is topical and will attract people in Cirencester and the surrounding district.  In January 2007 the Public Lecture was given by Professor Lord May of Oxford, immediate Past President of the Royal Society and former Chief Government Scientific Advisor.  His lecture was entitled "Hard Choices for Tomorrow's World" in which he reviewed some of the major issues facing mankind - population growth and disease, climate change, and the availability of food and water.
