Royal Institution launches ambitious new five-year strategy

After seeing off the last of its financial problems, the Royal Institution (RI) has announced plans to double in size as part of its latest five-year strategy.

To help it do this, it will set up a Research Centre for Science and Culture and launch the UK’s first national science club for young people. Members of the new research centre will carry work to inform the organisation’s various public engagement activities. The RI also wants to increase its digital presence and has set itself the target of engaging people with science 100 million times by 2023.
