Summer Science Exhibition 2005

Each year the Royal Society showcases the latest science and technology at an exhibition in London. We invite teams working at the cutting-edge of research around the UK to talk about their work to the public.

The Summer Science Exhibition offers a fantastic opportunity to discover the best of the UK's science and technology research. And what makes this event unique is the chance visitors get to meet and talk to the researchers themselves who are behind the work on show.
