Living in a laboratory: Annual Biosphere Lecture at Research Festival 2025

As we approach our 10th year as a whole-nation UNESCO Biosphere, join us for this year’s Annual Biosphere Lecture, a special evening that also marks the launch of the 2025 Biosphere-themed Research Festival.

We’re looking ahead to 2036 and asking: Where do we want to be, and how do we get there together?

Led by the inspiring team from the Centre for Alternative Technology, this engaging session will gently guide us through ideas and possibilities for the next decade. Expect thoughtful conversation, the chance to contribute to something meaningful, and a few surprises!
