Welcome to our 2019-2020 season!

Essex 2020: A Year of Science and Creativity

The coming year (2020) is a big one for CSES: it's our centenary. It also marks the 100th anniversary of the first radio entertainment broadcast by Dame Nellie Melba from the Marconi works at New Street, and the exciting news that Chelmsford will be hosting the 2020 British Science Festival.

All of this is brought together as Essex 2020: A Year of Science and Creativity.

CSES will be holding its usual programme of talks, socials and school activities, but look out for more events throughout the year as the celebrations take place. With our partner organisations we will be holding special events, some of which will continue in the future.

Our events pages have all the details.

  • The first talks include electromagnets, space/time and Big Data.
  • We have scheduled a full social programme including Café Scientifique and the annual Christmas Party.
  • We will be taking part in PhysicsFest in October.
  • My Smarter Essex is back. We will be running this in early 2020: please look out for further details.

Please keep an eye on the website and, if you are a member, look out for updates by email.

We look forward to seeing you at one of our events and celebrating this special year.
