MacRobert Award for engineering innovation 2014
First presented in 1969, the MacRobert Award is one of the UK’s most prestigious prizes for engineering innovation. It seeks to demonstrate the importance of engineering and the role of engineers and scientists in contributing to national prosperity and international prestige.
The MacRobert Award is awarded annually from a shortlist of finalists, acknowledging excellence in UK engineering innovation that has reached a stage where the levels of both commercial success and societal benefit are clear.
It is open to any individual or team from any organisation in the private, public or charitable sectors. However, no more than five individuals can be named as the key innovators behind the submission. Applications are invited for engineering innovations in any area of engineering, science, medicine or technology.
The team members of the winning entry receive a £50,000 prize as well as a gold medal for the company. All finalists gain considerable recognition and appreciation by the wider engineering community.
The announcement of the MacRobert Award 2014 will be made at the Royal Academy of Engineering Annual Awards Dinner at the Royal Opera House on 2 July. Finalists will be invited to attend and will join a mix of representatives from government, heads of industry and the media. Each of the finalists will stage an exhibition during the pre-dinner reception and a video of each finalist will be shown during the evening illustrating the innovation behind their submission.
Applications close 20 January 2014.
