Please Donate to CUER

It is Your support that allows us to continue with our outreach events, provide masters projects and apprenticeships for engineering undergraduates and compete in the most challenging events across the world.

Thanks entirely to our corporate sponsors and the kind donations of individuals, no matter how large or small, through our Friends of CUER scheme, CUER is able to innovate, explore and educate. We are one of the few teams to have ever represented the UK on the World stage and hope to continue doing so.

We are currently embarking upon the 2011 World Solar Challenge, but are still short of the funds we require to complete our challenge successfully. Please do consider donating to the team.

Thank you
