EU-US Frontiers of Engineering Symposium
 On 31 August – 3 September,
the first EU-US Frontiers of Engineering took place
at Jesus College, Cambridge. Sixty of the most
promising engineers under the age of 40 from the EU
and the US met for an intensive three day symposium
on developments at the cutting edge of engineering
technology. The event was intended to facilitate
international and cross-disciplinary research
collaboration, promote the transfer of new
techniques and approaches across disparate
engineering fields, and encourage the creation of a
transatlantic network of world-class engineers.
Four key engineering areas
were selected for discussion: Bio-Inspired
Engineering, Materials Ecology, Augmented Reality
and Signal Processing.
The Symposium was organised by
the US National Academy of Engineering (NAE) and The
Royal Academy of Engineering, on behalf of the
umbrella organisation of European engineering
Academies, Euro-CASE. Among the event sponsors were
several successful UK engineering companies,
including Autonomy, ARM and Yorkshire Nanofactory.
The Academy is also grateful to Professor Robert
Mair CBE FREng FRS and to Professor Roberto Cipolla FREng
for their personal support of the event.
