The Hewlett-Packard Science Lectures
were established in 1996 as a forum for improving the public understanding
of science.
Held at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Bristol, they
provide an opportunity for the public to hear distinguished lecturers
discuss a broad range of scientific topics, from current research
to the interaction between science, technology, art and society.
The lectures are widely publicised to schools, colleges and universities
and to other companies. The lectures are aimed at an audience
which has an interest in science but is not necessarily expert
in any branch.
HP Laboratories Bristol is located at Long Down Avenue, Stoke
Gifford, Bristol BS34 8QZ. Lectures are held in Building 3. For
