Royal Institution

Japanese: ローヤル・インスティチューション(英語表記)Royal Institution
Royal Institution
Also known as the Royal Institution, it was the first scientific research and educational institution in the UK. It was founded in 1799 through the efforts of Royal Society members at the suggestion of Rumford, and received royal charter in 1800. Initially, there were three professorships: physics, chemistry, and physiology. The background to the establishment of this institution is said to be the hope of progressive landowners for applied science (for example, improvements in agricultural techniques) who feared the growing social unrest that accompanied the progress of the Industrial Revolution. For this reason, from the beginning, the institution placed emphasis on educational activities such as various publications and lectures aimed at the general public, and held general lectures every Friday.

Japanese:
王立研究所ともいう。イギリスで最初の科学のための研究・教育機関。ランフォードの提唱により,ローヤル・ソサエティ会員の尽力によって1799年に設立され,1800年国王の認可をえた。最初は物理,化学,生理の三つの教授職があった。このインスティチューションが設立された背景には,産業革命の進行に伴う社会不安の増大を危惧した進歩的地主層の応用科学(例えば農業技術の改良)への期待があったとされる。このような事情があったため,このインスティチューションでは,当初から一般大衆向けの各種出版物や講演会など啓蒙活動が重視され,毎週金曜日に一般講義を行った。
