About

Ireland has a wonderful tradition of annual summer schools where adults can come together in a sociable environment to engage with culture, conversation and ideas. The Robert Boyle Summer School was founded to celebrate our science heritage and explore the place of science in our lives through looking at current and future challenges. The founders had a belief that this widely encountered separation of science from culture was bad both for science and all other areas of our culture. The Robert Boyle Schools seeks to be a bridge between science and other aspects of culture.Since 2012 we have organised the annual Robert Summer School in Waterford celebrating his life and legacy and considering the place of science and technology in our society and culture. In 2018 the complementary Robert Boyle Winter School was established in Dublin.The two schools are organised byCALMASTat South East Technological University and Lismore Heritage Centre with support of Lismore Castle, the Robert Boyle Foundation, interested groups and professional bodies and industry in the region.
