With UK association to the Horizon Europe programme now secured, what happens next is what really matters – the engineering and technology partnerships, grants and impacts that will be possible through Horizon funding. We want to use our network of Fellows and awardees who have experience of participation to pass that knowledge on to the next generation.
The event will consist of a panel event with Q&A and an opportunity to network and connect with our network of experts and other likeminded engineers.

About the Academy CAFÉ series
Our online Academy CAFÉ (Connecting Awardees, Fostering Engagement) series is exclusively for members of the Awardee Excellence Community. The series ensures you can benefit from the expertise and experience within the Academy’s network, as well as allowing you to share ideas, challenges and best practice.
The Awardee Excellence Community is open to current awardees and alumni of the Academy’s awards and prizes. If you’ve not already signed up to join the community, please email [email protected].
Find out more about the community here.
Recording notice
Please note this event will be recorded and published on the Royal Academy of Engineering website.

Judith MacManus-Driscoll FREng is Professor in the Materials Science at the University of Cambridge. She is a Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies and visiting faculty at Los Alamos National Lab. Her research is in the area of oxide thin film engineering of electronic materials. She holds an ERC Advanced grant called EROS (efficient and robust oxide switching) for memory/neurormorphic applications and had a previous ERC Advanced Grant, Novox. She has done ERC panel and refereeing work for over 10 years and has assisted many successful grantees with critiquing proposals and doing practice interviews. She has also been involved in other EU proposals (FET-OPEN, Research training networks, and Marie Curie (MC) schemes, and was previously holder of a MC excellence grant and host of several MC fellows.

Professor Alex Frangi FREng
Professor Alex Frangi is Diamond Jubilee Chair in Computational Medicine held between School of Computing and School of Medicine at the University of Leeds. Alex leads CISTIB, where his international, interdisciplinary team performs cutting-edge research in biomedical imaging and modelling. Alex is Scientific Director of the Leeds Centre for HealthTech Innovation, Director of R&I for Leeds Institute for Data Analytics and holds a Chair in Emerging Technologies (2019 to 2029) from the Royal Academy of Engineering. In 2021, Alex was awarded the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Technical Achievement Award for pioneering contributions in model and image-based computational modelling in medicine with clinical and innovation impact.

Luca Magri
