Institute of Physics
The Foundation gives presentations to primary and secondary schools in Scotland in collaboration with the Institute of Physics(Scottish branch). The history of Science Group of the Institute hold symposiums from time to time in the birthplace.
The Clerk Maxwell Cancer Research Fund
In view of Clerk Maxwell's discovery of the Electromagnetic Spectrum and its growing importance in cancer therapy, a research fund has been established on the initiative of the oncologists at the Western Infirmary, Edinburgh, for research into the use of electromagnetic radiation from lasers to gamma rays in the diagnosis palliation and cure of cancer.
The Foundation has given lectures to a wide variety of organizations including:
