The Awardee Excellence Community brings together Academy awardees and alumni from all career stages and disciplines to share their expertise, collaborate, and contribute to the Academy’s work.
The Awardee Excellence Community was formalised in 2023 to build upon the strength and diversity of Academy awardees to foster a powerful, inspiring and connected Community of engineers who support each other and are committed to work with the Academy for collective impact.
Opportunities and benefits
Members of the Community typically become eligible to join the Community when their Academy award begins, once the contracting phase is complete. As a member, you have the opportunity to:
- Meet, learn from, and support other awardees beyond your immediate cohort, as well as a broader cross-section of Academy Fellows through a programme of events and opportunities to connect online and in-person.
- Keep up to date with news and opportunities from the Academy and the Community through the Awardee Excellence Community newsletter, emails and the Community noticeboard.
- Shape the Academy’s work through opportunities to join Academy committees, speak at our events, and share your expertise to inform our policy work.
