This site celebrates Robert Boyle (1627-1691) one of the most influential founders of experimental science. Since 2012 we have organised the annual Robert Summer School in Waterford celebrating his life and legacy and considering the place of science and technology in our society and culture. In 2018 the complementary Robert Boyle Winter School was established in Dublin.
