Have you been part of a team that’s made an incredible innovative leap with commercial viability that has provided a real benefit to society?
Open to UK Based organisations and institutions the annual MacRobert Award, presented by the Worshipful Company of Engineers in conjunction with the Royal Academy of Engineering is now accepting applications for 2022. The MacRobert Award is the UK’s longest-running and most prestigious national prize for engineering innovation.
It honours the winning organisation with a gold medal, and the team members a cash prize of £50,000. The presentation of the Award recognises outstanding innovation, tangible societal benefit and proven commercial success.
The medal, which has been presented since 1969, has recognised the engineers of some of the UK’s most innovative engineering solutions. Former winners include the engineers behind the design and construction of the Severn Bridge and the developers of the Rolls-Royce Pegasus engine. In 2019 the award went to a Belfast-based Bombardier team for their innovative resin-infused advanced composite aircraft wing that minimises the environmental impact of commercial jets.
Information on how to apply for the 2022 Award is available on the Royal Academy of Engineering’s website now.
