There will be a meeting of the Complex Systems Toolkit Working Group: Launch & Engagement sub-group on Weds 2nd July 2025 from 2:30pm to 4:00pm, (London, UK time).

Addressing inequality and exclusion from engineering education of those who are wired to think differently calls for more than just a research project, instead we seek momentum for a movement.

The EPC’s track record in thought leadership and our unique position to empower and amplify the knowledge skills and experiences of the Engineering Academics Network inspires us in our campaign: All in for Engineering.

A summary read on this important EPC campaign to date can be found here or by visiting our Campaigns page.

You do not need to have previously contributed to this work to attend. All welcome.

Join us for the official launch of two of our key EDI-focused initiatives: the Inclusive Employability Toolkit and the EPC’s DEI Community of Special Interest. This event will showcase how these initiatives support inclusive practices in engineering, computing, design and technology – across education, employer engagement, career preparation, and progression into the workplace.

There will be another meeting of the RIKT sub group to review case studies taking place Tuesday 1st July at midday.

An opportunity for students to learn about and feed back on our emerging maturity framewowkr for neuro-inclusion.

Join EPC’s resident data expert, Stella Fowler, for an exclusive members-only session exploring the latest HESA student enrolment data using our Data Explorer tool.

Every year, HESA update their subscription services – we have extracted the engineering highlights so you don’t have to.

The EPC is proud to have been asked by Chi Onwurah MP, Chair of the Commons Select Committee on Science, Innovation and Technology, to host an invitation-only roundtable on How can regional growth be encouraged through partnership between education, industry and devolved authorities? 

 

The discussion is taking place in the context of the Select Committee’s inquiry into Innovation, Growth and the Regions and Ms Onwurah is keen to gain an understanding of the perspective of academics, engineers and those who work in partnership with them. It will provide an important opportunity to influence the thinking that most directly holds the government to account for spending and policy relating to science, engineering and research.

 

This roundtable is being held alongside our Annual Congress, the flagship event of the year, which is being generously hosted by Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Manchester. Chi Onwurah has kindly agreed to deliver our Annual Public Lecture titled ‘Engineering science: How can the UK ensure science benefits us all?’ which will follow the roundtable at 6pm in the same building.

 

If you have received an invitation and can attend the roundtable, please register below. If you cannot attend, but would like to recommend someone else, please email j.rich@epc.ac.uk so that we can reallocate your space.

 

If you have not been invited, but would like to be considered, please be aware that numbers are strictly limited, but if you email j.rich@epc.ac.uk, your interest will be noted if space is available.

 

If you would like to attend the Congress and haven’t registered already, you can do so here. If you would like to attend the public lecture, you can register here. (Registration for the lecture is not necessary if you are already registered for Congress.)

There will be a meeting of the Congress 2025 steering group taking place Friday 30th May at 10am

The EPC, in partnership with the Engineering Council, is hosting a virtual roundtable to support a review of professional registration of engineers. You can read more about here.

If you’d like to hear more about this work and feed into a process that aims to change the face of the engineering sector, come along to this online discussion and express your views. The roundtable will be chaired by Prof Jonathan Seville, Chair of the Registration Working Group that is running the review.

Attendance will be limited in order to facilitate a vibrant discussion, so register below to reserve your place.
