Details for the next Cafe Scientifique event are as follows:
15 February 2006, 6.30pm to 9pm
Dinner@Dana: Bletchley Park and the Enigmas
Top-secret codes, ciphers and the dark art of cryptography the story of
Bletchley Park still pushes our buttons. Join us for a cracking Café
Scientifique evening as we unscramble how the German Enigma and Lorenz
ciphers were broken.
It's the second event in our 'Code Breaking' series with Bletchley Park's
Dr Christopher Little. The top secret WWII British codebreaking centre was
home to the world's first programmable digital electronic computers
invented specifically for codebreaking.
Find out what made the Enigma and Lorenz machines so formidable and how
Bletchley's brilliant mathematicians broke the ciphers.
Café Scientifique:
Dinner@Dana is part of the Café Scientifique network; a network that has
spread throughout the UK from the first Cafes Scientifiques held in Leeds
in 1998. Meetings aim to stay outside of the traditional academic context
by creating a relaxed and informal atmosphere in which everyone is invited
to discuss important and interesting scientific issues.
These Cafes provide a place where anyone can come along and explore the
latest ideas in science, technology and medicine.
This evening costs £13.00 per person, which includes a two-course meal and
a drink.
