The Royal Academy of Engineering provides leadership and promotes excellence across all fields of engineering, to the benefit of society. The Academy’s activities are shaped, led and delivered by its exceptional Fellowship, which represents the nation’s best practising engineers, innovators and entrepreneurs, often in leading roles across business and academia. Engineering is at the heart of our nation and our future, transforming ideas and materials into global infrastructure, products and services that in turn increase the wealth and health of our economy and society. The Academy undertakes a number of international development programmes of activity, focussed primarily around capacity-building of engineers.
