About Us
The Yorkshire North Local Network is led by local volunteers who come together to organise lectures and technical visits that provide opportunities to learn and meet new people. All events are open to the public and most are free of charge.
The Local Network aims to raise awareness of science, engineering and technology in the local area, and promote membership of the IET.
Our Professional Registration Advisors (PRAs) are available to help candidates for CEng, IEng, and EngTech.
