INVITATION ONLY
We are delighted to invite Engineering Leaders Scholarship Cohorts 29, 30, and 31 to this year’s annual networking and training event. Bringing scholars together across three cohorts, the event is designed to strengthen your professional networks, foster meaningful connections, and support your development throughout university and into your engineering careers. Across the event programme, you will take part in engaging discussions, hear from industry professionals, connect with fellow scholars, and develop practical soft skills to support your future success.
In celebration of the continued growth of the Engineering Leaders Scholarship programme and the expansion of scholarship awards, this year’s event will be hosted in Manchester at the Hyatt Regency Manchester, offering high-quality accommodation and dedicated event spaces (with room for our largest ever cohort!) in one brilliant location.
