The CHRISTMAS LECTURES were introduced nearly 200 years ago, when there was little formal education for children, making them an important opportunity for learning at the time. Today we are building on that history by taking the Lectures from the Ri Theatre and into homes and schools all around the country.

Shortly after the 2023 CHRISTMAS LECTURES have been broadcast, we opened our online Q&A with the scientists featured in the Lectures, and other experts in the field of artificial intelligence.
Organised in partnership with the team at 'I’m a scientist get me out of here', this student-led enrichment activity gives those aged 10-18 the opportunity to connect directly with experts from AI research, academia and industry, on the subject of the CHRISTMAS LECTURES.
The Ri 2023 CHRISTMAS LECTURES Youth Summit
2023 Ri Youth Summit
Our annual Ri Youth Summit gives students aged 16-18 the opportunity to directly contribute to the making of the CHRISTMAS LECTURES, with their thoughts, ideas and opinions helping to inform scripts for the three Lectures.
Students enjoyed a fun education enrichment opportunity, developing their critical thinking skills in conversations centred around the topic of the Christmas Lectures and engaging in stimulating peer-to-peer discussions with other young people throughout the day.
This year we hosted two summits to maximise the number of students able to attend, from across the UK. They are the ideal events for any student with interests across the sciences, social sciences and humanities
