Description:
The IET Manchester Network has three technical groups that cover a wide range of special interests. In addition, we have very active Young Professionals and Retired Members groups. We also work with other Engineering Institutions to hold joint events.
Learn more about the Manchester Network
The Manchester Network, one of the largest and most active outside London, stems from the amalgamation of the Northern Society of Electrical Engineers, founded in 1893, with the Institution of Electrical Engineers in March 1900. See Historical Note for more information.
Our technical groups, which are reviewed periodically, are as follows:
• Multi technical group (MTG)
• Power technical group (PTG)
• Transport technical group (TTG)
• Young Professionals (YP)
• Retired Members (RM)
The Network is also a member of the Joint Institution Group-North West and works with other Engineering Institutions to hold joint events. We also work with industrial partners.
We strive to engage with the engineers and technologists around Manchester and the wider North West region. Our annual programme usually has around 50 high quality events, consisting of technical lectures, seminars, visits, professional development workshops and social/networking opportunities.
We also have very high quality and well-regarded schools liaison activities. One of the highlights of our programme is the Network's Annual Dinner that is among the largest outside London.
New members wishing to contribute to and develop the activities of the Network are most welcome. Please contact the Manchester Network
