Academy elects 'unique national resource' to assist in economic recovery
Fifty three of the UK's leading engineers have been elected to the Royal Academy of Engineering this year following its AGM in London on 5 July, demonstrating the diversity and pervasiveness of 21st century engineering. Leading industrialists, pioneering inventors and top academics have become Fellows of the UK's national academy of engineering.
Academy President Lord Browne of Madingley says: "The expertise of our Fellows is a unique national resource. We want to see that expertise brought to bear to bear at a much earlier stage of policy development - to ensure that policy is workable, sustainable and affordable.
"While business itself remains the prime vehicle for wealth creation, government can and must do a lot more to foster the right climate for success. Thanks to our network of Fellows with their unrivalled experience in engineering business and research, we are uniquely well placed to help government understand the needs of business."
