INVITATION ONLY
The Royal Academy of Engineering invites members of the Policy Fellowships alumni community to its annual Alumni Dinner and reception. This event brings together Policy Fellows, engineers, and leaders from across the Academy’s networks for an evening of conversation, connection, and reflection.
This year, the dinner will explore the alumni community as a collective force. Through discussion and exchange, we will consider what a connected engineering and policy community can achieve together, beyond individual roles, and the different ways alumni can contribute to shaping conversations, practice, and collaboration across government and public service.
The evening will also celebrate the achievements of the past year, officially welcome the 2025 cohorts into the alumni community, and offer the opportunity to reconnect with peers and strengthen relationships across our growing network of Policy Fellows, engineering leaders, Academy staff, and guests.
It will be a unique opportunity to strengthen the collective impact of the alumni community, bringing together engineering and policy expertise to shape conversations, collaboration, and practice across government and public service
