Robert Boyle Summer School

Audience: Adults

Explore the fascinating theme of Mind and Matter June 4-7.

We all have a mind but are we using it properly and looking after it properly?

The Robert Boyle Summert School is

• A festival not a school.
• It is about Science, but not just for Scientists.

Ireland has a great tradition of cultural summer schools for adults. The Robert Boyle Summer School is the only such festival that engages the public with ideas from science and asserts science as part of our culture.

It is a gathering of people that are curious, creative and critical thinkers.

The 2026 Summer School will take place in Waterford and Lismore from 4-7 June where we explore the theme Mind and Matter from different viewpoints with leading thinkers from history, philosophy, science, medicine and the arts.

The opening evening on the 4 June and presentations and discussions on Friday will take place in Waterford City Hall. The talks and discussions on Saturday will take place in Lismore Heritage Centre followed by a tour and garden party in Lismore Castle Gardens. On Sunday there is a special private tour of the Waterford Gallery of Art.
