  1. About us

About us

The British Science Association was founded in 1831 and is a registered charity.

We are creating a future where science is more relevant, representative, and connected to society.

We work with partners across the UK to bring people and science together.

We improve young peoples’ experiences of science in their education. We work with community groups and grassroots organisations to give them opportunities to be involved in science. We showcase the amazing work of researchers and academics through our events and activities. We advocate for a more inclusive science community.

The British Science Association is incorporated by Royal Charter and funded by a mixture of grants, sponsorship and donations; thank you to all of our partners for their continued support.

We have ambitious goals to put people at the heart of science. If you share our vision and ambition, we would love to hear from you.
