About us

the Royal Academy of engineering has much to celebrate this year we've played an increasingly important role in harnessing the power of engineering to build a more sustainable society and an inclusive economy that works for everyone we've engaged with engineers and with the public about these challenges hosting wide- ranging discussions and talks with experts including fellows and Nobel Prize winners reaching new audiences with our Innovation late and online events and listening too organizing events around the country to hear people's views about Ai and Gathering stakeholders around the world as part of our engineering X collaboration to support Equitable decarbonization we funded and mentored Engineers carrying out Cutting Edge research that will support progress towards a more sustainable and inclusive world and our entrepreneurship programs have helped turn Innovations into successful businesses with our Enterprise Hub opening new hubs in Scotland and Wales and being named one of the top 10 European startup hubs by the financial times and our global leaders in Innovation fellowships program is celebrating its 10th anniversary we're also proud to be launching green future fellowships a major new program supporting researchers and innovators to develop and scale up breakthrough climate Solutions underpinning all our work is a commitment to skills which is why we launched our Engineers 2030 campaign this year to ensure Engineers have the right skills to meet the challenges of Tomorrow are this is engineering campaign continue to encourage young people to join the profession and our graduate engineering engagement program growing portfolio of bursaries and access mentoring schemes help people from underrepresented backgrounds to progress to from how to invest in Quantum Technologies to improving the treatment of Wastewater to decarbonizing our electricity grid our policy work has shaped the conversation this year working in partnership with other organizations across the professions and drawing on the expertise of our fellows and awardees our national engineering policy Centre has never been more influential with decision makers this year we were honoured to welcome his majesty the king as our new Patron and with the support of our Royal fellas we have celebrated the very best of engineering the 2024 Queen Elizabeth prize for engineering was awarded to the pioneers of wind turbines our 10th Africa prize to the creator of an AI agriculture tool helping Farmers slash their crop losses and the MacRobert award to the Google Deep Mind team for their weather forecasting technology it's been a privilege to work on all of this with our fellows friends and partners this year and I'm excited about the future to with our exceptional Community straddling every field of engineering and Technology I'm looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together.
