This event is hybrid and in-person attendance is by invitation only. All talks will be streamed online and available to all.
The Research Forum is a highlight of the Academy’s research activities, showcasing the world-class engineering research funded through the Academy’s wide range of programmes.
Attendees will have an opportunity to listen to talks and view exhibits, demonstrations and posters from current awardees and alumni. From robots that can detect nuclear waste to electrochemical devices for a zero carbon economy our awardees are at pushing the boundaries of engineering and finding solutions to the biggest challenges the world faces today.
This year’s keynote speaker, Baroness Brown of Cambridge DBE FREng FRS, is the Academy’s first Senior Research Fellow.
