Awards Dinner 2024

This year's  Awards Dinner will take place at an exciting new venue: The Peninsula London Hotel.  The overall proceedings will be hosted by Krishnan Guru-Murthy, journalist and a lead presenter on Channel 4 news, and Professor Juergen Maier CBE FREng FRS will deliver the keynote address. 

The highlight of the evening will be the announcement of the winner of the MacRobert Award, which celebrates outstanding innovation, societal benefit and commercial success. 2024 marks the 55th anniversary of the MacRobert Award, the UK's longest-running and most prestigious national prize for engineering innovation. 

Throughout the evening several other major Academy awards for achievements in engineering will be presented, including:

• The Princess Royal Silver Medals
• The RAEng Engineers Trust Young Engineers of the Year
• The Sir George Macfarlane Medal
• The Rooke Award 
• Major Project Award for Sustainability
• The President's Medal

Who attends
