About the award

The Award, first presented in 1969, honours the winning organisation with a gold medal, and each of the individual nominees with a bronze medal. There is, in addition, a cash prize of £50,000. This is normally shared equally between the individual nominees; however, the Academy will in exceptional cases consider alternative proposals for how the cash prize should be allocated. The presentation of the Award recognises the successful development of innovative ideas in engineering. It seeks to demonstrate the importance of engineering and the role of engineers and scientists in contributing to national prosperity and international prestige.

Originally founded by the MacRobert Trusts the Award is now presented by The Royal Academy of Engineering, a prize fund having been established with donations from the MacRobert Trusts, The Royal Academy of Engineering and British industry.

“The MacRobert Award is one of the most prestigious awards an engineer can aspire to. Just taking part has taught us a lot, not only about the obvious things but about ourselves and how our engineering peers view us. We are a very small company and we were ‘over the moon’ when we heard we were selected for the shortlist; then becoming a finalist gave the whole company (and our affiliates and suppliers) a real boost.” Professor Peter Ogrodnik, Managing Director, Intelligent Orthopaedics Ltd, MacRobert Award Finalist 2007
