Gresham College has been providing free public lectures since 1597, when Sir Thomas Gresham founded the college to bring the ‘new learning’ to Londoners. Today we carry on Sir Thomas's vision, bringing some of the world's most brilliant minds to speak in fields ranging across the arts and sciences.
Our mission is to make world-class knowledge and high-quality talks and videos freely accessible to the public. The College's main activity is the provision and administration of the Gresham Lectures given by the Gresham Professors in a tradition going back more than 400 years.
Gresham College fosters a love of learning and a greater understanding of ourselves and the world around us. We aim to stimulate intellectual curiosity and to champion academic rigour, professional expertise and freedom of expression.
