For the first time, the Engineering Council, Science Council and Society for the Environment are coming together for a registrant-led webinar about professional registration.
The webinar will feature three registered professionals from engineering, science and the environment, who will share their personal experiences of professional registration – including how it has supported their careers, professional development and wider goals.
Whether someone is considering professional registration, is already working towards it, or simply wants to hear from others who have taken that step, the webinar offers an opportunity to learn from people who have been through the process themselves.

The construction sector faces a dual challenge: delivering the homes the UK needs while building a workforce with the skills to meet net zero ambitions. As timber and modern methods of construction become increasingly important, education and training providers have a vital role to play in preparing the next generation of professionals.
The Educators & Trainers Forum 2026 will bring together colleges, universities and CITB-accredited training providers to explore the latest outputs from the CITB Timber in Construction Skills (TiCS) programme. The programme is led by Donaldson Timber Systems and in collaboration with BE-ST, Edinburgh Napier University, NMITE, Timber Development UK and the Structural Timber Association. Attendees will get an exclusive look at new short course content, curriculum toolkits and practical learner rigs designed to support structural timber construction education, while discovering how these resources can be embedded into existing teaching and training programmes.
The forum will also showcase the Building from Forests installation, developed with the V&A, alongside the Building from England’s Woodlands publication, demonstrating how research, innovation and UK-grown timber can be translated into engaging learning experiences that support the ambitions of the UK Timber in Construction Roadmap. Building from England’s Woodlands was funded by Forestry Commission England and led by NMITE in collaboration with BE-ST, Edinburgh Napier University, dRMM and EcoSystem Technologies.
This event is an opportunity for educators and trainers to shape the future of structural timber education. Through discussion and feedback, participants will help refine new learning materials, influence future curriculum development, support the rollout of training across the sector, and strengthen the skills pipeline needed to deliver a more sustainable built environment.
Come along to this event to connect with peers, influence nationally significant training resources, and help equip the workforce needed to deliver the UK’s housing and net zero ambitions.

Digital technical standards are increasingly shaped by wider geopolitical, economic and security dynamics. This
webinar will explore what this means for global cooperation, trust and openness in standards development. The discussion will focus on systems, trends and principles and will be forward‑looking in nature.
The webinar will cover three themes:
- Digital standards as global infrastructure — influence, trust and cooperation
- Regional perspectives on the global standards system
- Maximising opportunities and minimising risks
Confirmed speakers span government, industry, international organisations, academia and standards bodies, bringing a wide range of perspectives on standards participation, capacity‑building and international coordination.
Join the Royal Academy of Engineering for the launch of a new report on Data‑centric engineering and AI skills, where you’ll be the first to hear how data, AI and advanced analytical skills can be more effectively embedded and scaled across engineering education.
As engineering systems grow in complexity, data‑centric engineering (DCE) and AI are increasingly shaping how engineering is taught and practised. DCE brings together a set of cross‑cutting competencies that are now essential across the modern engineering workforce.
Developed by the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Alan Turing Institute and Lloyd’s Register Foundation, this report sets out the knowledge and skills needed to apply DCE in industrial contexts and to better prepare graduates for a digital, data-driven future.
Hear directly from the report authors and leaders from academia and industry through a panel discussion and a live Q&A.
