You are kindly invited to attend AFBE-UK’s 5th Anniversary Celebrations in partnership with the Royal Academy of Engineering at 6pm on the 21st November 2012 at Royal Academy of Engineering, 3 Carlton Terrace, London SW1Y 5DG.
The ceremony will include an awards reception to announce the Young BME Engineer of the Year. On the Young BME Engineer Award, MP for Newcastle Chi Onwurah says:
“In today’s global economy it is more essential than ever that we maximise our engineering talent and build on the experiences of all our young people. I hope the young BME engineer can inspire young people as well as recognise it as a fantastic achievement in such an important profession”.
The AFBE awards reception will be introduced with a thought-provoking panel discussion, chaired by Professor Paul Jowitt CBE, Prof of Civil Engineering Systems at Heriot Watt University and Executive Director of the Scottish Institute of Sustainable Technology.
During the panel you will hear from a group of influential speakers about their experiences of working on engineering projects around the globe, including how their work has affected the long-term economic, social and environmental sustainability of the our country, what worked and what didn’t, and how even a single individual can make a difference.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Tim Askew FREng, Former MD Atkins Middle East & China and Her Majesty’s Ambassador to the UAE
- Dr Priti Parikh, Research Associate Imperial College and Teaching Fellow at University College London
- Richard H. Maudslay, CBE Chairman and Director of National Nuclear Laboratory Limited
- Stephen Young, Head of Profession for Infrastructure, Department for International Development (DFID)
The AFBE-UK and the RAEng welcome those interested in finding out about sustainability and the role of our up-and-coming engineers in building a sustainable future, to attend.
