We are pleased to welcome members and their guests to our 2017 President's Dinner. Book now for what promises to be an excellent evening!
We have a great menu and after-dinner speaker, Linda O'Halloran, who will talk about her fascinating experience conducting disaster recovery in Haiti following the earthquake.
Congratulations to Jason Kent who, as the best-performing student in Mechanical Engineering BEng (Hons) at Anglia Ruskin University, claimed this year's CSES Award. Jason's commendable engagement in his study has been admired both by the ARU teaching staff and his peers. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for you, Jason!
CSES sponsors an award made to the most promising student in BSc/BEng (Hons) Engineering each year. The 2015/16 award was presented to Jason by Vic Leverett, CSES Vice President at a ceremony held at Anglia Ruskin University on 12 October 2016.

On the hour Tim Wander will be holding a talk about Marconi and the exhibits at the museum, and a tour of the 2MT hut.
Announcing the next Institute of Physics (IOP) and CSES talk on the subject of Physics and the Electric Guitar with Nick Weaver.
Please see our events page for all the details.

With a great menu and our speaker Professor David Humber (Provost of Anglia Ruskin University's Chelmsford Campus) due to deliver a talk intriguingly entitled Infectious diseases I'd rather not catch again!, this promises to be an excellent evening.

These events all require booking: please follow the links above for more information.
To celebrate the history and legacy of Marconi and the Marconi Company in Chelmsford, a free commemorative event entitled Marconi: Building the Wireless Age will be hosted over a period of three months in the original Grade II listed Marconi Factory in Hall Street prior to its conversion into residential and commercial units.
CSES will be running hands-on Science and Engineering activities and a series of talks have been organised (pre-booking is required).
Archival material from a variety of sources will be showcased, in many cases for the first time. Contributors include The International Marconi Museum in Bologna, The Museum of the History of Science, Oxford, the Essex Records Office, Chelmsford Museums and several private collections. Local families with their own small collections of Marconi-related memorabilia have also contributed.
Videos of two of our most high-profile lectures are now available exclusively to CSES members.
