NEIMME Lectures

The North of England Mining & Mechanical Institute (aka NEIMME or the Mining Institute) has recently handed over its building (Neville Hall on Westgate Road NE1) & resources to The Common Room, which led to a large HLF grant to update the building & provide more public access to science & technology, past, present & future.   The number & scope of public lectures has grown, even during Covid, and lectures are both live in person & live streamed.   Shared resources from other providers are presented through the Common Room web site, incorporating feeds from NEIMME and other partners.   Some examples of NEIMME lectures on YouTube are:
