Join the British Academy Ideas Festival: Explore New Perspectives

The British Academy Ideas Festival returns on 19 and 20 June to create a hub of original thought and discovery. Engage with the thinkers shaping our future as they bridge the gap between world-leading research and the public.

Join us for our Friday Late on 19 June for an energetic evening where research meets culture through live performance, music, and short talks. The exploration continues with a more laid-back daytime programme on Saturday 20 June, featuring immersive exhibits and interactive workshops designed to tackle the complexities of our global society at a conversational pace.

From the medieval mysteries of the northern lights to the ethics of everyday AI, our funded researchers will share innovative work that is dismantling conventional wisdom and informing the society we want to create.

Come along, engage with new ideas, and be inspired to think differently about the world around you.
