Engineers in Society Awards

The Engineers in Society Awards are dedicated to recognising the art of collaboration in the engineering workplace.

We’re looking for teams of unsung heroes who’re working together to provide critical solutions to tackle society’s biggest challenges and improve quality of life. Is your team exceptional?

We have three awards available to celebrate the world’s greatest teams in engineering:

  • Healthy Lives: are you working in a team, providing solutions for assisted living or innovating with robotics in healthcare?
  • Digital Futures: are you working in collaboration with colleagues to develop digital products, promoting professional ethics and trust?
  • Sustainability and Climate Change: is your team working to help secure a zero-carbon future?

Teams can be of any size, sector and based anywhere in the world. Whether you’re working on small in-house activities through to large-scale multi-disciplinary projects, we want to hear from you. Great solutions are born from teamwork – enter today to get your team the recognition it deserves!

Entries are now open for both awards!

Nominees will be invited to a ceremony taking place in Birmingham on 4 December. Join us there to network with other inspiring innovators and teams that have been shortlisted and celebrate with your peers.

But first – you’ve got to be in it to win it, so submit your entry/entries now! Remember, you can enter multiple categories across both awards, provided you meet the eligibility criteria.
