International

The Royal Academy of Engineering is the UK’s national academy for engineering and technology. As such, it seeks to use its leadership position to strengthen the contribution of UK engineering to sustainable wealth creation and quality of life. Despite its national remit, achievement of the Academy’s objectives requires a global outlook. Engineering research, practice and markets rely on transnational flows of goods, services, knowledge and people, and engineers have essential roles to play in addressing the world’s most pressing challenges, including climate change, global poverty and international security.

The Academy's international interests are growing and include: developing relations with other national academies; leading debate and public policy projects; promoting UK engineering capability; and building capacity in developing countries.
