Yorkshire Philosophical Society

The society was formed in 1822, when ‘natural philosopher’ was the term used for a scientist, and the traditional name has been retained. The society continues to pursue the aim of promoting the public understanding of science by providing a programme of lectures for the public and activities for members, as well as awarding grants and prizes to qualifying organisations and students. 2022 is the society’s bicentenary year.
