AWARDEE EXCELLENCE COMMUNITY ONLY
If you have any questions, please contact the Awardee Excellence Community team at [email protected]
This event is part of a new pilot series to connect awardees and Fellows. We are organising meetings between a Fellow and a small group of up to 6 awardees from the Awardee Excellence Community for a discussion around a common theme.
Each meeting will last one hour and will provide an opportunity for awardees and Fellows to engage in meaningful dialogue. The purpose is to facilitate knowledge exchange and share insights and expertise between all participants.
Please note, Awardees can only register to attend one meeting in the series. Awardees attending will be required to complete their entry into the Awardee Directory so we can share all participants’ details ahead of the meetings. Read more about the Fellow attending in the 'Speakers' tab.
If a meeting is fully booked, you will be able to complete a form to be added to a waiting list.
Discussion theme
This mentoring meeting is designed for early and mid-career engineers seeking guidance or support to advance their careers. The discussion will explore career progression, skill development, and how to navigate industry challenges. Participants will get insights and advice on how to achieve their professional goals in their chosen career area.
Accessibility
It is very important to the Royal Academy of Engineering that our events are accessible to all. If you have any accessibility requirements, please contact the Awardee Excellence Community team more than one week in advance of this event so that necessary arrangements can be made at [email protected].
