Throughout term time, Imperial runs a series of annual lectures, many of which are named after notable staff, alumni or donors. Lectures in the series include; Frontiers in Natural Sciences, the Athena Lecture, the Sir Ernst Chain Lecture and the Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson Lecture. 

These annual lectures offer public audiences the opportunity to come to Imperial and hear from some of the world's most celebrated scientists or champions of industry across a range of subjects, which includes bioengineering, breakthroughs in medicine and life sciences and diversity in the workplace.

All our lectures are free to attend and some are now streamed online via our YouTube channel for those who cannot make it along to the event.
