There will be a meeting of the Complex Systems Toolkit Working Group on Thursday 23rd October 2025 2025 from 15:00 – 16:30. Please note this is for current members of the Working Group only.

There will be a meeting of the steering group taking place Monday 20th October at 1pm.

This online session will support EPC representatives in member universities in their work, both as representatives of their colleagues and as engineering academics on the inside track of what’s going on in the sector nationally. We have scheduled two dates to make it more convenient for you to pick the date that best suits you. Both sessions will cover the same content so you only need to attend once.

This year’s EAN Access and Admissions Forum brings together leaders, policymakers, and higher education specialists to examine one of the sector’s most urgent challenges, the financial sustainability of engineering education. With demand for skilled engineers growing and universities under increasing financial strain, this event explores how institutions can balance mission and money in an access and admissions context, while adapting to shifting policy, funding, and recruitment landscapes.

This event is designed for university leaders, faculty, admissions professionals, and policymakers. Whether you are managing recruitment pressures, planning for the LLE, or seeking strategies to safeguard engineering provision, you will leave with fresh perspectives and actionable ideas.

On National Engineering Day, this event offers a timely opportunity to engage with peers and thought leaders on the future of engineering education. Through keynote insights, panel debates, workshops, and networking, attendees will leave better equipped to navigate financial pressures while ensuring engineering continues to play its vital role in the UK’s future.

Because inclusive assessment is good for everyone, the EPC All in for Engineering Assessment Development Group is delighted to invite Engineering Academics Network members to this two-day workshop, generously hosted by Aberdeen’s Robert Gordon University (RGU).

The workshop will equip academic and professional services staff with the confidence, evidence base and practical tools to design, deliver and defend assessment that is: 

Outputs will feed directly into an EPC EDI Toolkit, initially based on the neuro-inclusive Maturity Framework which will be launched early in the 2025/6 academic year. We will be creating a reusable take-away pack for academics, course leaders, external examiners, briefing materials for PEIs/PSRB panellists, and a models / checklists for assessment setting. There will be plenty of opportunity to learn, share ideas and have a go.

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 a meeting of the Complex Systems Toolkit Working Group: Launch & Engagement sub-group on Thursday 24th July 2025 from 3:00pm to 4:30pm, (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.
