Kent Physics Centre

A series of public talks

Kent Physics Centre

The Kent Physics Centre runs a series of evening talks open to the public.  The talks are mostly physics and astronomy related, but sometimes we branch out into other science areas.  Everybody is welcome at the talks – they are free, and no specialist knowledge is assumed.  So if you are a science student, or just somebody interested in how things work, please come along, listen to the presentations, and meet like-minded people.

Talks are Tuesday evenings at 6.30pm in SIBSON Lecture Theatre 3 and run about once a month.  Sometimes we have local speakers, but more often than not we have a visiting speaker.

You can subscribe to our mailing list so you never miss an announcement about a talk.

Upcoming Talks

The final talk in our 2025-26 series will be delivered by Dr Mark Telling (Science and Technology Facility Council), and will take place on the 9th June:

Magic Bullets and Plastic Sponges

After this talk, we will break for the summer, returning in October with a new series.  If you have any suggestions of topics or specific people you think we should feature next year, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
You can see our schedule of talks for the whole season here, and an archive of previous talks here.  You can also see summaries of past talks here, contributed by local students.
