Gresham Professors

Our ten Gresham Professorships, many of which date from 1597, are filled by leaders and pioneers in a range of scientific and artistic fields. Each Professor serves for three years and delivers at least six free lectures each academic year. Read more about how we recruit Gresham Professors and guest speakers.
