Benefit as a Member of Friends
Whilst everyone is welcome to book for in-person lectures at Imperial, Membership of Friends - from only £25 per year - gives you access to so much more.
From exclusive Behind-the-Scenes events at Imperial and beyond, to Fireside Chats with experts, from reduced ticket prices for in-person lectures for you and your guests - Membership is worth it!
Fireside Chats
As our Fireside Chats mini-series have been so popular we ran a further season during 2021 for Members and their guests. Fireside Chats with Imperial experts featured a short talk, an informal chat and live Q&A. We also virtually went abroad with guided visits to scientific facilities.
Check out the chats featured on the Event Archive page.
Free tickets for schools at in-person lectures
We have free school tickets available for our public lectures at Imperial. A teacher can bring a group or students can book themselves by simply providing us with the name of the school and the number of students attending the talk.
Sign up to get our e-news of these lectures and then you can book for FREE.
Friends Programme Support Appeal
We are reliant on event revenue therefore our income is depleted through the pandemic. We have set up the 2021-22 programme but...
...to continue running this, we need your support to provide a wealth of knowledge for a further year. We do hope you can help Friends!
