Deadline extended for The Engineer’s Collaborate To Innovate awards

We’re pleased to confirm that the deadline for entries to Collaborate To Innovate (C2I)  – The Engineer’s annual search for the UK’s most innovative collaborative engineering projects  – has been extended by two weeks until 9th June. 

C2I is aimed at uncovering and celebrating the UK’s best examples of engineering collaboration.

We want to hear about engineering collaboration wherever it occurs – whether between separate businesses, industry and academia, or between different academic groups. All we ask is that entries are innovative, truly collaborative, and that they’re likely to have a positive impact in their application area.

CLICK HERE TO ENTER

Entries are invited from projects which address engineering challenges across a broad range of areas including transport; health; energy efficiency and sustainability; information and connectivity; safety and security; and the built environment.

The 2017 competition also sees the addition of two new categories: Academic Innovator (for a university department that demonstrates excellence in innovation and collaboration across multiple projects) and Young Innovator, which will spotlight collaboration between businesses and schools.

Shortlisted entries will be judged by a panel containing some of the UK’s most senior and respected engineers (see below).

Winners will be announced at an informal party in the city of London on 5 September, and the winners will present their entries at a one-day conference including keynote presentations in December at the Lloyds Bank Manufacturing Technology Training Centre in Coventry.

The closing date for entries is 9th June
