Welcome to IET Sussex!
We are the local network of the IET across East and West Sussex, organising events and seminars and promoting engineering in schools and businesses across the two counties. To get involved, you might like to come along to one of our events. We have a wide variety of lectures throughout the year either in Crawley or Falmer, all free of charge, and you don't need to be an IET member to attend. Visit the events page filtered by Sussex Local Network to find out about our upcoming events.
If you have any questions on the Sussex Network or are interested in volunteering for any of our activities then please contact our secretary at sussex@ietvolunteer.org.

STEM Events
A number of our Sussex Network members, who are STEM Ambassadors, volunteer to help run workshops in schools and help on an IET table at STEM fairs. Here are a couple of examples of STEM events, the video being a 'Fan Boats' workshop in a school and the photo taken at the Lewis STEM Fair in November 2025. The video was produced by the school and we have written permission to publish it.
If you would like to volunteer for one of our STEM events or find out how to become a STEM Ambassador then please contact our Education Officer. Not only is it great fun, but you can help engage the next generation of engineers and technicians.

IET Sussex Network Community Volunteers:
Meet our volunteers. These are the people who organise technical talks and STEM events and run your local network.
It is a good opportunity for young engineers to gain 'soft skills' experience. So if you are interested in helping then do get in touch.
