EAN Congress 2026: Evolution or revolution invites delegates to explore whether incremental change in engineering education is enough to make it fit-for-purpose in the face of significant global and sectoral challenges – or whether engineering education now demands something more radical. As global challenges intensify, disciplinary boundaries blur, and AI reshapes every profession, there is a broad consensus now that engineers of the 21st century must pair technical expertise with sustainability literacy, ethical awareness and an entrepreneurial mindset. This year’s EPC Congress explores what a truly “fit‑for‑purpose” engineering education looks like – one that harnesses AI while safeguarding against its risks, embraces interdisciplinary thinking, and expands the role of active and experiential pedagogies – and critically, how we can deliver this. Through provocative presentations and discussion, the congress will examine who engineering education serves and how institutions can reimagine their role in shaping future‑ready engineers.
Diego is a Director in the Building Structures team at WSP. His experience includes tall building design in the UK and the Middle East, complex basements under historical buildings; residential towers and office refurbishments, cultural venues, art installations. He was the lead structural engineer for 22 Bishopsgate in London.
As a Decarbonisation Lead Diego works towards creating zero carbon buildings to address the climate emergency. Diego led WSP’s Structures decarbonisation roadmap and continues to deliver on its commitment to half the emission of their designs and advice by 2030.
Diego’s current focus is on digital innovation, harvesting the power of AI to create tools and processes that help engineers, designers, and clients to create better buildings.
The Royal Academy of Engineering’s 2026 EDI Conference, themed Engineering for Communities, will explore how fostering psychological safety empowers engineers to speak up, challenge constructively, and contribute ideas that lead to more inclusive and equitable outcomes for both the profession and wider society. Since its launch in 2021, this flagship annual event has brought together engineering leaders, practitioners, and innovators to share best practice, address sector‑wide challenges, and inspire meaningful action on equity, diversity, and inclusion.
The Academy invites you to register via this LINK for the online event, and if you would like to attend the in‑person, please fill in this expression of interest form as places in person are limited.

The Developing Business Aware Academics (DBAA) team are co-hosting a researcher challenge event with Babcock on Monday 2nd March 2026, at the Innovation Hub in Exeter. Full details are here.
Babcock has identified 4 challenges that require expertise in Mechatronics, Physics, Engineering or Chemical Engineering. Researchers and PhD students with relevant expertise are welcome to attend the event. There is no cost to attend and lunch, alongside cakes from the exploding bakery, will be provided. The DBAA Team can cover transport costs for attending researchers.
At the event, researchers will get the opportunity to network with Babcock, and via facilitated round table discussions, explain how their research could help address Babcock’s given challenges. It is a great opportunity that could result in some very tangible outcomes.
There will be a meeting of the RAC taking place Wednesday 25th March at 10am.
