We are pleased to be a part of the upcoming 'Curious About' digital festival from the amazing Glasgow Science Centre.

To celebrate World Oceans Day on 8 June 2021 the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is providing a free digital day of educational talks, hot-topic discussions and virtual tours, which will replace our usual on-site Open Day.

Registration for the 2019 event in LIVERPOOL, 11 May, is open now.

The National Oceanography Centre is opening its doors to mark 100 years since the founding of the Liverpool Tidal Institute, a key development in the history of the NOC, the City of Liverpool and the study of our oceans.

Registration for the 2019 event is open now.

PLEASE NOTE – November’s Marine Life Talk will break from tradition and take place on the second Thursday of the month – 12 November 2015
