Communities. For those who do more.

Whether you’re looking for advice from technical experts or to network with people in your local community. To discuss and debate technical and professional issues or to push yourself to pitch solutions to real-world challenges, our Communities can help you do more.

Inspiring innovation, empowering collaboration and celebrating successes.

Inspiration always starts with a spark. A spark produced by challenging established thinking. By getting outside of bubbles and echo chambers. By asking and getting answers. That’s what we're here for.

Our Communities bring together those who do. The latest thinking from right across industry and academia. There to help you connect the dots, discover new opportunities and make progress both personally and professionally.

Whatever career stage or specialism, you can keep up to date, broaden your horizons and connect with those who can make a difference in your career. All so that you can continue to do more. Because when people come together, we can all make progress. And engineer a better world.
