public lecture
Audience-facing educational speech
A public lecture is a talk given to an audience that anyone may attend, typically on an academic, cultural, or current-affairs topic.
Unlike classroom lectures, public lectures are open to the general community rather than enrolled students: The museum hosts a free public lecture series on Friday evenings.
Universities, libraries, and cultural institutions commonly offer them.
