David Elder Lectures
Glasgow Science Centre is proud to host the David Elder Lectures in partnership with the University of Strathclyde's Department of Physics. The David Elder lecture series presents a line-up of fascinating talks by expert astronomers, spaceflight pioneers, award-winning science writers and broadcasters. This lecture series continues the tradition of monthly astronomy lectures in Glasgow which began with the first David Elder Lecture in 1905, 113 years ago!
This regular monthly programme of talks runs over the winter months each year. Each lecture costs only £6. Each lecture lasts approx. 1 hour and is best suited to older teenagers and adults.
- Month: Monthly from September to February
- Time: 6.30pm and 8pm unless otherwise stated
- Duration: 1 hour
- Price: £6 per lecture
Some aspects of the lectures are technical and they are therefore most likely to appeal to older teenagers and interested adults.
