The Royal Academy of Engineering has launched a new online Q&A series to explore the different ways that the engineering profession is contributing to the COVID-19 response. Through a series of interviews with engineers involved in innovative projects and multidisciplinary efforts, we will highlight the ways in which the community has mobilised to rapidly add expertise to the ongoing battle against the virus, and learn lessons from innovating and scaling at pace.
Organisations across the UK have been working to deliver safe PPE (personal protective equipment) through different collaborations and manufacturing methods.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) has been a prominent topic over the past months, and a critical component of the pandemic response. Organisations across the UK have been working to deliver safe PPE through different collaborations and manufacturing methods. Do watch the video above to meet engineers and project managers from three very different organisations who took on this challenge; a business, a university, and a government laboratory.
The Q&A session was chaired by Elspeth Finch MBE.
