About the Doggerland Lecture
The Natural History Museum Rotterdam and the British Council proudly join forces once again to present the Doggerland Lecture. An annual lecture that combines natural sciences with culture. The lecture highlights the crucial role that scientific research and cultural activity play in helping us understand contemporary society. It also aims to reposition important debates where they belong — in the public domain, among engaged and informed citizens. The audience is encouraged to interact with the speaker and to contribute to the discussion. The venue of the Doggerland Lecture is the auditorium of the Kunsthal , directly opposite the Natural History Museum. The Doggerland Lecture is the successor to the Hoboken Lecture which delivered ten lectures between 2011 and 2023. From 2025 onwards the annual lecture will continue as Doggerland Lecture. This new name alludes to the land that once connected the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
