Royal Society Events
The Royal Society of New South Wales organises events in Sydney and at its Branches throughout the year.
In Sydney, these include:
- Ordinary General Meetings (OGMs), normally held at the State Library of NSW normally at 6.00 for 6.30 pm on the first Wednesday of each alternate, even-numbered month (February, April, June, August, October, and December). The OGMs comprise Society business, reports from Council, and the induction of new members and Fellows into the Society. They are followed by a public lecture presented by an eminent speaker and are preceded by drinks, available from a cash bar in an adjacent room. All OGMs are open to the public. Registration for these events is required and there is a small charge to cover the costs associated with holding these meetings in the State Library.
- Online meetings, conducted as Zoom webinars, which are held normally at 6.30 pm on the first Wednesday of each alternate, odd-numbered month (March, May, July, September, and November). All online meetings are open to the public and there is no charge for attendance.
- The Ideas@theHouse series, conducted in collaboration with our Patron, the Governor of NSW, and held at Government House Sydney.
A range of events is held in collaboration with other learned societies and academies. These include the:
- Annual Forum — conducted jointly by the Royal Society of NSW and the Australian Academy of Science, the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering, the Australian Academy of the Humanities, the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, and the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences, and normally held at Government House Sydney
- Four Societies Lecture — conducted with the Australian Institute of Energy, the Nuclear Panel of Engineers Australia (Sydney Division), and the Australian Nuclear Association
- Dirac Lecture — with UNSW Sydney and the Australian Institute of Physics
- Liversidge Medal lecture — with the Royal Australian Chemical Institute.
In addition, there are the named lectures that are associated with the Society's awards. In some cases, these lectures are conducted jointly with universities, normally the host institution of the winner of that award.
In all cases, these events are advertised on these pages and registration for events held face-to-face is required.
Each of the Branches runs a regular program of face-to-face events in their local areas. All branch events are included in the Events listed on these pages and individual Branch pages include just those events being organised by the local branch.
The bulk of the Society's event program is recorded and made available on our YouTube channel.
