An annual event organised to strengthen the dialogue between the scientific community, MPs and Peers
Parliamentary Links Day is the largest science event on the annual parliamentary events calendar. It is organised by the Royal Society of Biology on behalf of the science and engineering community to strengthen dialogue with parliament, and to provide MPs with a more rounded understanding of the scientific issues we face.
The theme for this year's event is Science and the next Parliament. Links Day will feature contributions from many distinguished speakers from Parliament, Government and the science community.
A delegate pack will be available to download ahead of the day, which contains an event programme. Due to the variability of parliamentary business, the programme is subject to change.
