The Academy's Research Forum has got off to a great start! Attendees now get the opportunity to learn about the range of research our awardees cover in our showcase session. From #cleantech to #AI, we're supporting impactful research into all areas of engineering #RAEngResearch
RAEng Engineering for Development Research Fellow Dr Massimiliano Materazzi is developing a way to convert waste to biofuels. Interest in waste-based fuels is growing, particularly as the UK is aiming to lower carbon emissions to achieve climate change targets #RAEngResearch
Apex awardees @teamaxe and @johydeuk have collaborated for interdisciplinary research into using VR technology to help researchers to manipulate molecular dynamics simulations in real time, to explore how research can be enhanced with the use of sonification #RAEngResearch
Chairs in Emerging Technologies awardees Professor Tim Denison and Guy Lamb are showing their skull implant that helps to alleviate the symptoms of neurological disorders. Their implant reduces surgical hours, costs and is smaller than conventional pacemakers #RAEngResearch

A new report published today by the Royal Academy of Engineering and its partners in the National Engineering Policy Centre highlights the importance of improved ventilation to reduce risk of Covid-19 and other infections.
We are delighted to reveal eight new global visionaries who will be awarded funding from the Academy's #RAEngResearch Chairs in Emerging Technologies scheme. A total of £22 million will be allocated to support research that could have global benefits: raeng.org.uk/ciet-2020
Professor Stephen Beeby will be looking into developing electronic textiles that incorporate flexible circuit technologies, sensors, and energy harvesting/storage functionality, for use with wearable applications and more: raeng.org.uk/ciet-2020#RAEngResearch
Professor Emile Greenhalgh will focus on developing structural power composites, an area which is expected to have a huge impact on the aerospace and automotive industry, by increasing fuel efficiency and a reducing global emissions: raeng.org.uk/ciet-2020#RAEngResearch
From leaders in transport and data to innovators working on lifesaving developments in medical research, meet the 53 talented engineers elected to our Fellowship today: raeng.org.uk/new-fellows-20…#RAEngFellows
Dr Rajapillai Ahilan is a technology and business leader who has led projects which set international standards for jack-ups, marine transportation and moorings. raeng.org.uk/about-us/the-f…#RAEngFellows
From polymers to medical devices, we're proud to recognise the leadership and innovation of engineers with our 2020 medals and awards: raeng.org.uk/news/news-rele…#RAEngAwards
Professor Dame Julia Higgins is awarded our Sir Frank Whittle Medal for her sustained achievements in polymer materials - extremely relevant as our society tackles the issues of separating and recycling plastics: raeng.org.uk/news/news-rele…#RAEngAwards
Sorin Popa, CEO of Pathfinder Medical, is awarded the Sir George Macfarlane Medal for demonstrating excellence early in his career - inventing a device to allow haemodialysis and even arterial bypasses to be performed without invasive surgery. raeng.org.uk/news/news-rele…#RAEngAwards
We are delighted to reveal the awardees from our latest round of #RAEngResearch Chairs and Senior Research Fellows. They will be spending the next five years working with some of the world’s largest companies on a wide range of engineering challenges: raeng.org.uk/news/news-rele…
#RAEngResearch Chair Professor Trung Q Duong's research will look into going beyond 5G and towards 6G. He believes that 6G will focus not only on faster data speeds, but also on massive interconnections of autonomous machines: raeng.org.uk/news/news-rele…
#RAEngResearch Chair Professor Paul Hoskisson's research will look into engineering methods to improve the sustainability of antimicrobial production. Engineering biology is a priority area for growth that will help to accelerate antibiotic production: raeng.org.uk/news/news-rele…
On Thursday, @KarenHolford speaks to Sir Jim McDonald, @RaffaellaOcone, and award winners from @OvsiVentilator, @UniofOxford, and @Sewers4C about their amazing innovations tackling the COVID-19 pandemic. Register now for our latest Innovation In A Crisis webinar:
The @OvsiVentilator became the first intensive care quality ventilator to be manufactured in Africa, which could be a gamechanger when it comes to a host of conditions including pneumonia, as well as COVID-19. raeng.org.uk/grants-prizes/…
Researchers at @oxengsci developed a speedy test to identify carriers of COVID-19 and provide a result within 30 minutes. No labs are needed - a simple colour change allows quick and easy interpretation: raeng.org.uk/grants-prizes/…
