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
We wish everybody a wonderful Christmas and New Year. The first talk of 2026 will be on 13th January:
Daniel Doherty – University of Surrey
Nuclear Physics – From Rutherford to Exploding Stars
Note that the talks will now start at 6.30pm (half an hour earlier than last year).
You can see our evolving schedule of talks for the next season here, and an archive of previous talks here. You can also see summaries of the talks from last year here, written by a local PhD student.
