About the Royal Institution and the Digital team
Our charitable purpose at the Royal Institution is to bring the public and scientists together to share their interest and passion for science. We believe there should be equitable access to science, and that people’s desire to engage with science and scientists should be nourished.
We help more people to discover science and engage more deeply. We create spaces for scientists and the public to explore science together. We inspire students to see a future with science. We empower people to explore and get involved. And we offer charitable support to those, such as young people in disadvantaged communities, who might otherwise not be able to engage with science.
We’ve been doing it for well over 200 years, with an international reach, working with world-leading scientists, from Hannah Fry to Carlo Rovelli and Dame Sue Black to Sean Carroll.
The Ri sees digital as a means to deepen our relationships with current audiences and increase their reach and diversity, as well as generating a growing income stream. Our digital channels bring thought-provoking science and our rich heritage to millions of people online, many of whom may never set foot in our historic and iconic building in London.
Through our YouTube channel, with over 1.6m subscribers, we have already established ourselves as a world-leader in in-depth, longform science video. Our monthly podcasts and online communities are growing fast, and we are reaching new audiences across all of our digital platforms.
These are exciting times for the Digital Team, which is continuing to nurture our existing audiences, whilst reaching out to new ones, developing our video and multimedia content.
