We're delighted to be at @STEM4Brit today by @ParlSciCom as part of British Science Week 2020. Make sure you follow the #STEM4Brit hashtag for updates - we'll also be covering the engineering research poster entries. Good luck to all the engineers! #RAEngResearch#BSW2020
45 early-career engineering researchers are exhibiting their posters @STEM4Brit today, each based on engineering that aims to drive positive change for the future. There's exhibits looking at healthcare to renewable energy - very impressive to see so far!#STEM4Brit#RAEngResearch
A snapshot of the range of research - there's tech that can measure quantities of nanoplastics, #AI that can predict when a water pump will break, software that can draw complex images and software that enhances user experience in an autonomous vehicle #STEM4Brit#RAEngResearch
Introducing the awards ceremony is @Metcalfe_SBET, Chair of @ParlSciCom, talks about the history of @STEM4Brit, why it exists to build links between parliamentarians and scientists, and thanks everyone for their entries. Winners to be announced next! #STEM4Brit#RAEngResearch
Representing the Academy is Professor Mary Ryan, Chair of the judging panel for the @STEM4Brit engineering awards. Thank you to all the Academy Fellows for helping with judging! #RAEngFellows#RAEngResearch#STEM4Brit
🥉In 3rd place, it's Benjamin Cerfontaine, for his 'Optimisation of screw anchor design for offshore floating wind, wave, and tidal energy devices' research. Well done! #STEM4Brit#RAEngResearch
🥈In 2nd place, it's Elisa Roccia for her 'Three dimensional cancer risk score mapping with MRI to improve early detection and individualised treatment planning for men with prostate cancer' research. Well done! #STEM4Brit#RAEngResearch
🥇In first place, it's Tomas Ysehak Abay, with his 'Development of an non-invasive intracranial pressure monitor for neurocritical care patients' research. Congratulations! #STEM4Brit#RAEngResearch
#STEM4Brit introduced two more engineering awards this year - the Dyson Award and the IEEE communications society award. Here are all the engineering research winners together. Huge congratulations to all for their hard work! #STEM4Brit#RAEngResearch
A few final words from Professor Karen Holford! We are proud to see these young engineering researchers helping to drive positive change for the future with their research. A big thank you to @wmgwarwick for sponsoring the awards #STEM4Brit#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/…
