"We can’t talk about delivering positive outcomes for people without talking about how engineering designs for all of society, and how engineers therefore need to reflect all of society.” This week, our President gave the keynote speech at an event celebrating 25 years of @theERAF supporting engineering initiatives, including the Academy and @RAEng_Hub: erafoundation.org/news/2025/09/1…

"Equity, diversity and inclusion is a vital thread through all three goals because we can't talk about delivering positive outcomes for people without talking about how engineering designs for all of society."
