The Royal Institution (RI) is a London-based charity providing science education and outreach.
Founded in 1799, the Royal Institution offers live events, both in its London theatre and livestreamed online, in which leading scientists and thinkers explain or discuss scientific ideas. The RI runs workshops for school children and often holds family fun days and live events aimed at families. It also takes part in science events across the UK. The Royal Institution is home to the Faraday Museum and an extensive scientific archive. Its Christmas Lectures have run every December since 1825, and are currently broadcast in the UK on BBC Four.
