North East Branch

The North East Branch is one of 11 regional branches in England, and part of a wider network of IOP activity across our Nations including Scotland, Ireland and Wales. It covers Northumberland, County Durham and Teesside, with activity centres based in Newcastle and Durham.

Our activities

We organise talks, visits and engagement opportunities for members in the North East, and work locally to promote physics, physics education and public understanding of physics.

We deliver IOP strategy based on, and responding to, local needs and opportunities. We work closely with the Yorkshire and North East Branch committees and attend meetings, events and lectures as part of the annual programme of branch activity.

If you have any questions about the IOP in Yorkshire or the North East, or collaborations and physics-related ideas, you would like to see happening, please don't hesitate to contact us.
