The Institute of Corrosion has changed in many ways since our foundation in 1959 and our North East Branch is part of that expansion. Following the Covid pandemic it relaunched very successfully at the Institute of Mining building on 15th December 2022, an event which was greatly enjoyed by all. During 2023 it hosted a major two-day Sustainability Conference in partnership with NEIMME, that included several industrial visits to nearby facilities linked to renewables. It continues to offer a varied and informative programme.
Most meetings are held at Neville Hall, Westgate Road, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 home of the North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers (NEIMME), which is right at the heart of Newcastle city centre with easy access by train and car, and within walking distance of a number of high standing hotels. This historic 19th century venue has a range of excellent facilities including lecture theatres, breakout rooms, and a superb library available 
for networking.
The technical events normally start at 18.00 with complimentary drinks and the technical presentation starts at 18.30.
There is complementary buffet and drinks are from 19.30 onwards.
The meeting generally closes around 21.00.
The branch hosts a regular social programme and presently intends to hold its next Technical evening on 25th April with a presentation from Elcometer and further details will be posted to the Events Calendar: https://www.icorr.org/events/category/north-east-branch/list/ On 13th November in Newcastle, it will host this year’s ICorr AGM and supporting Technical Conference.
