Meetings and Lectures "The business of the Society in their Ordinary Meetings shall be to order, take account, consider, and discourse of philosophical experiments and observations; to read, hear and discourse upon letters, reports and other papers regarding philosophical matters; as also to view, and discourse upon, rarities of nature and art; and thereupon to consider, what may be deduced from them, or any of them; and how far they, or any of them, may be improved for use or discovery." (Statutes of 1663) The Society today continues that tradition as a key element in the promotion of science. It holds a range of meetings and lectures on scientific subjects and on the application of science for both specialists and non-specialists.
