National Engineering Day 2024

On National Engineering Day, the ERA Foundation reaffirms its commitment to strengthening UK engineering talent and innovation.

This year our key initiatives are aimed at creating pathways for future engineering leaders:

  • EEE Scholarships 2024
    Supporting women studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering at UK universities, these scholarships celebrate the centenary of the Electrical Association for Women.
  • Arkwright Engineering Scholarships
    Supporting ambitious 16-year-old students through a prestigious scholarship programme that provides hands-on experience, professional mentorship, and career guidance. The ERA Foundation directly supports selected Engineering candidates, helping to inspire and equip the next generation of UK engineering talent.
  • Born to Engineer
    Developing compelling content that showcases engineering careers and innovation, reaching thousands of young people and demonstrating the impact of engineering in society.
  • Industrial Fellowships – Royal Commission 1851
    Supporting profitable innovation in British Industry through strategic fellowships that mutually benefit researchers and their sponsoring companies.
  • Enterprise Fellowships – Royal Academy of Engineering
    A comprehensive 12-month accelerator programme offering up to £75,000 equity-free funding, transforming breakthrough engineering innovations into commercial success.
  • IET Launch Scholarships
    Investing in practical engineering talent through apprenticeship support, providing ten candidates with £1,000 annual funding over four years to develop technical expertise in partnership with the IET

Through these strategic partnerships and initiatives, we hope that the ERA Foundation continues strengthening the UK’s engineering capabilities while fostering innovation in manufacturing and technology.
