Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2025
The Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2025 will run from 1-6 July 2025. This free event, suitable for all ages, showcases the latest research from across the UK, through interactive exhibits, hands-on activities and talks.
It takes place at The Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AG.
This year, UK school and college groups can book to visit the Exhibition between 2 – 4 July 2025, bringing a group of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) engaged students to meet the researchers. Students will get the opportunity to talk with the researchers at 13 flagship stands, finding out more about the innovative science, technology, engineering, and maths they are undertaking and their career pathways in scientific research. There will also be the opportunity to engage with a large range of publicly accessible interactive activities and attend talks (spaces permitting) from a large variety of scientists involved across the entire week. The content of the Exhibition is best suited to students at GCSE and A-level (or equivalent) who actively want to pursue a career in STEM once they leave school, although some activities are suitable for younger ages.
To support with planning, schools or colleges can book either a morning (10am – 12:30pm) or afternoon slot (12:30pm – 3pm) on their day of choice, for a group of up to 30 students. Please note that all students, no matter their age, MUST be accompanied by school or college chaperones on-site for safeguarding reasons.
Tickets can be reserved through the Eventbrite page.
