There will be a meeting of the R&D Case Studies Working Group taking place Monday 11th August at 11am.

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.

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.

At a board meeting last year, we revisited the conversations that had taken place at the Retreat around what the EPC’s vision and missions are. It was decided that we need to clarify where the EPC and EAN have separate visions. We agreed the best way forward would be to create a task and finish group to work on the strategic plan and then bring it back to the Board. This meeting will take place 24th June from 13.00-15.00.

As Chair of the House of Commons Science, Innovation & Technology Select Committee, Chi Onwurah MP is one of the most powerful voices in UK science and engineering. In this public lecture, she will outline her personal vision for the role of science policy in shaping all our futures.

We are honoured that she has agreed to present this year’s Annual Lecture, a prestigious event where the EPC invites a high-profile individual to reflect on issues surrounding engineering and their wider impact on society.

This event is free for anyone to attend, but registration (see below) is required. Doors open at 5.45pm.

The public lecture is part of the Engineering Academics Network Annual Congress, which is this year kindly hosted by Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Manchester.

If you have already registered to attend the EAN Congress, you do not need to register separately for the public lecture.
