Welcome!
Welcome to the homepage of Cambridge University Physics Society, affectionately known as CUPS. We host a term-time evening lecture series with speakers from academia and industry. These take place on Wednesday evenings at 8pm and are followed by an informal drinks reception, which provides a great opportunity to chat to the speaker and each other. We also host a range of social events each year including cocktail nights, the annual black tie Omega Dinner and our May Week Garden Party.
Talks are free to members or £2 one off. Membership costs £5 year of £10 life, and can be purchased at any of our events.
On this website you can find out more about our talk series, the venue, details of membership, our great committee, etc. Feel free to browse it yourself.
We look forward to seeing you at our events soon

What exactly do we do?
Founded in 1940s, the Cambridge University Physics Society (CUPS) provides the perfect social scene for everyone with an interest in physics. We organise regular events including lecture series, cocktail evenings, the annual Omega Dinner, and a May Week Garden Party. CUPS presents an unrivalled opportunity to enjoy talks by internationally renowned speakers, which have included Stephen Hawking, Jim Al-Khalili, and Roger Penrose, on all subjects ranging from the cutting edge, to the purely historical, philosophical, astronomical, or biological. A drinks reception follows each talk, where there is an opportunity for informal discussion with the speaker.
Sponsors
CUPS is very proud to be sponsored by Metaswitch Networks, Detica, BP, Microsoft Research, Nexus, Hitachi, ECM Selection and our very own University of Cambridge Cavendish Laboratory.
