Founded in 1819 'for the purpose of promoting scientific inquiry'
The Cambridge Philosophical Society is an exciting hub for the promotion of scientific research, discussion, and learning. From our flagship Henslow Fellowships and research grants to our world-class journals and free public lectures, the Society is committed to promoting access to the sciences both within Cambridge and far beyond. And having reached our 200th year, we’re already looking forward to exploring the ideas and discoveries that will shape the world over the next two centuries.
