The Engineer magazine’s annual search for the UK’s most innovative, collaborative engineering projects is open for entries.
The Engineer, the UK’s leading magazine for engineering and technology news, has run the Collaborate to Innovate Awards (C2I 2020) annually since 2015.
The Awards, which are supported by the UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and sponsored by Frazer-Nash Consultancy aims to uncover and celebrate great examples of engineering collaboration – a dynamic considered critical to solving many of the challenges and problems faced by society.
ENTER COLLABORATE TO INNOVATE 2020 HERE
The competition is open to any project that is truly innovative, represents a collaboration between two or more separate organisations and has had, or is likely to have, a demonstrable impact in its area of application.
For this year’s awards, entries are invited from projects addressing fundamental engineering challenges across eight categories, including automotive; aerospace, defence and security; information, data and connectivity; healthcare and medical; energy and environment; and manufacturing technology.
