From exclusive Behind-the-Scenes events at Imperial and beyond, to FREE online Fireside Chats with experts, from reduced ticket prices for in-person lectures for you and your guests - Membership is worth it!
Past programmes of events
Our annual programme of public and exclusive Member events over the years have featured lectures from exceptional Imperial speakers, visits to leading-edge laboratories and research facilities at Imperial and beyond!
You can view a selection of recording of previous virtual Fireside Chats and lectures on our Youtube channel.
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.
Donate to Friends
We are reliant on in-person event revenue therefore our income was depleted throughout the pandemic. We wanted to continue providing world-class speakers for everyone during this time and changed to live streamed events, but this had an impact on our funds.
To set up further programmes, we need your support to provide a wealth of knowledge for a further year. We do hope you can help Friends!
