For the engineering leaders of tomorrow A series of debates Two lectures by Lord Browne of Madingley President, The Royal Academy of Engineering 2006-2011

As the UK’s national academy for engineering, we bring together the most successful and talented engineers from across the engineering sectors for a shared purpose: to advance and promote excellence in engineering. We provide analysis and policy support to promote the UK’s role as a great place from which to do business. We take a lead on engineering education and we invest in the UK’s world class A selection of Academy and research base to underpin innovation. We work to improve public awareness and understanding Engineering the Future publications of engineering. We are a national academy with a global outlook and use our international partnerships to ensure that the UK benefi ts from international networks, expertise and investment. 2011/2012
