Bringing the depth and wonder of palaeontology from first-hand research

LECTURES & SHARING

Home > Education > Lectures and Sharing

The Hong Kong Palaeontology Research Centre offers thematic lectures and scientific exchange for schools, tertiary institutions, educational organisations, museums, and public platforms.

Our content is built on first-hand research experience, fieldwork, and current developments in palaeontology, enabling participants understand dinosaurs, fossils, evolutionary biology, and Earth history from a scientist’s perspective. Lectures center on the questions that audiences find most compelling, such as whether dinosaurs are truly extinct, how palaeontologists live and search for fossils in the field, and how scientists use new technologies to reconstruct extinct life. Themes include dinosaur research, fieldwork, the history of international dinosaur research, modern palaeontological methods, and the journey into becoming a palaeontologist.

While we prioritise the accuracy of our scientific content, we place equal importance on making delivery accessible and engaging. The depth and presentation style of each lecture are tailored to the audience’s age, background, learning objectives, and the event format, transforming palaeontological research into clear, vivid science communication.
