News Releases from The Royal Academy of Engineeringhttp://www.raeng.org.uken-gbCopyright: (c) The Royal Academy of Engineering (2010)Tue, 9 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMTpress@raeng.org.ukwebmaster@raeng.org.ukThe UK’s future prosperity will depend on the creation of a more diverse economic base, which requires a re-balancing of the economy in favour of hi-tech, high value productive industries. That was the topic of a meeting of the Associate Parliamentary Engineering Group which brought together engineers and Parliamentarians to debate the way forward.http://www.raeng.org.uk/news/releases/shownews.htm?NewsID=544press@raeng.org.ukWed, 3 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.raeng.org.uk/news/releases/shownews.htm?NewsID=544On 19 January the Academy hosted a briefing seminar on the integration of technologies into the clinical environment. Globally, healthcare is becoming increasingly dependent on engineering technology. The UK has plenty of expertise in the research and development of such technology, but historically we have been less adept at exploiting and integrating these developments into the clinical environment for the benefit of patients and the UK economy. In recent years, it has become recognised that both benefits need to be realised and organisations now exist to encourage those processes.http://www.raeng.org.uk/news/releases/shownews.htm?NewsID=543press@raeng.org.ukFri, 22 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.raeng.org.uk/news/releases/shownews.htm?NewsID=543The UK will not be able to achieve its target of reducing carbon emissions by 80 per cent by 2050 unless it urgently addresses carbon emissions from the built environment, according to a report published today by the Academy.http://www.raeng.org.uk/news/releases/shownews.htm?NewsID=542press@raeng.org.ukTue, 19 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.raeng.org.uk/news/releases/shownews.htm?NewsID=542With tens of thousands feared dead and over 3 million left injured, homeless and traumatised, aid agencies are mobilising to meet the most immediate needs of those affected. Top priorities for agencies delivering aid are water and sanitation, food, shelter, and medical supplies.
