Curious will run from 09-27 August online, with events offering insight from some of the world’s leading experts across four key themes of health and wellbeing, innovation and invention, our planet, and Covid-19 Professor Alison Phipps, FRSE, will be discussing reforming the UK’s asylum system as part of a series talks in the Royal Society of Edinburgh’s summer online events programme Curious which starts today.

Designed to make us think about life, death, our planet and our daily lives, the carefully curated series of events will offer the chance to engage with some of the RSE’s Fellows, who are world-leading experts. Following the success of Curious in 2020, this year’s programme will take place from the 9th to 27th August. All events will be hosted online and will cover four topics; our planet, health and wellbeing, innovation and invention, and Covid-19. Events will include panel discussions, lectures, premieres, walking tours and “Tea and Talk” events inspired by the coffee house discussions of the Scottish Enlightenment, where people would gather to debate issues of the day. Curious minds can learn more about topics daily, from green aviation and forensic history to medieval manuscripts and our relationship with death. This year’s programme will also host the world premiere of Thirteen Fragments, a powerful piece of digital artwork featuring spoken word and movement exploring women’s experiences and their resilience in Scotland. The piece has been created by award-winning writer/performer Hannah Lavery, the result of a collaboration between the National Theatre for Scotland and the RSE as part of its Post-Covid Futures Commission.
