The Sir George Macfarlane Award
The Award is in memory of Sir
George Macfarlane (1916 - 2007), one of the founding
fellows of the Academy, and recognises the potential
of younger UK engineers, who have demonstrated
excellence in the early stage of their career (less
than eight years since graduation from a first
degree in engineering). This excellence is marked by
a quality of leadership and/or technical and
scientific attainment that is clearly seen to be
outstanding by their employers and organisation.
The call for nominations for the
2013 award has now closed. The winner(s) will be
announced in 2013.
