Meet our awardees
After a thorough reviewing process, we are delighted to announce the following projects that have been awarded. These projects are funded by Engineering X, founded the Royal Academy of Engineering and Lloyd’s Register Foundation, as part of its Safer Complex Systems programme.
Engineering X tackles global safety and sustainability challenges and promotes the contribution of engineering to solve global challenges. Using the expertise and networks of their founders, Engineering X connects and gives a platform to people working on these challenges across (the X) disciplines, countries, and systems. They champion local leadership of solutions and the importance of taking a systems approach to improve safety and sustainability into the future. These projects aim to put systems approaches into practice and will generate learnings and next steps for the Safer Complex Systems programme as it seeks to enhance safety in complex systems globally.
