Credit: Royal Institution The Royal Institution (Ri) and L’Oréal UK and Ireland have been working together for over 16 years to encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to think more deeply about the wonders and applications of science. A highlight of this partnership is the L’Oréal Young Scientist Centre, a modern laboratory in the Ri’s historic home in central London. Since 2009, the L’Oréal Young Scientist Centre has provided exciting experiences in cutting-edge science for more than 52,000 young people aged 7–18 through hands-on laboratory workshops, as well as outreach activities in the UK and internationally. Our imaginative and exploratory workshops, led by a dedicated team, aim to bring science to life in the most compelling way and offer young people from all backgrounds a fascinating insight into the reality of life as a scientist or engineer.
