 MacRobert Award
The premier award for UK innovation in engineering
Submissions for the 2013
MacRobert Awards has now closed.
The winner will be announced at the 2013 Academy
Awards Dinner on 17 July 2013.
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
