Biology Week

Celebrate the Biosciences with Biology Week, 11-19 October 2025

Innovation in biology will help us support all life on Earth now and in the coming decades. Biology Week celebrates and raises the profile of these achievements, and the important work that bioscientists are doing.

We would love to see every biologist celebrate their work with events and activities that appeal to all audiences. Help us achieve our vision of a world that understands the true value of biology and how it can contribute to improving life for all.

Inspiration for online events

Explore our events calendar to see the events and activities that took place in 2024 for inspiration. If you want to plan an event during or around this week, you can download an event planning ideas guide for inspiration.

We will monitor the hashtag #BiologyWeek for posts to share, so use this for any social media content covering biology-related topics or events over the week.
