Our Mission

The mission of the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society is to promote innovation in the arts and sciences, with particular focus on the county of Cornwall. Where in 1833 the society was established to promote the ideas of the men who worked at Perran Foundry near Falmouth, the RCPS still encourages innovation, but now in various disciplines.

Currently the board is working hard on re-establishing The Poly as a cultural, historical and scientific hub right in th heart of Falmouth. We can only do this with your continued support, and we hope that many of you consider becoming members of the society to help support our aims and create a wonderful, dynamic and sustainable society and venue for future generations in Cornwall.
