Imperial Lates are a series of free, after hours, adults-only events. They provide Imperial researchers with a fantastic opportunity to engage with members of the public in an exciting, informal environment.
All submissions are welcome, from initial ideas to fully developed activities. The Imperial Lates programming team can help to develop an idea further, discuss opportunities to host a talk or take part in a panel discussion, or connect researchers with a creative practitioner to explore their ideas through an artistic workshop.
This season’s themes are:
October: Light
Join our researchers in welcoming the autumn and celebrating Diwali, the Festival of Light. Learn all about how light works, as well as it’s uses in health research and even in space!
November: Time
Explore the nature of time at November’s Imperial Lates. Deep dive into the very first second of the universe, catch up with the fastest object ever built, or dance inside a quantum clock.
January: Wellbeing
New year, new you! Start 2026 afresh by learning the scientific secrets to hacking your health and wellbeing from Imperial researchers in our January Lates.
