East London Inventors' Club (also known as ELIC) was set up at the University of East London (at their Docklands campus) as a way for inventors in the area to get together and share their expertise and resources. The club normally meets on the last Thursday of each month with the exception of August and December when the university is closed for the holidays.
The club is known for its various achievements, in particular for their online inventors forum which at the time of writing has some 440 members and over 1,900 articles.
