The deadline for entries in 2008 IET Innovation in Engineering Awards was late July. Even if you missed your chance this year, it’s worth keeping an eye on the awards’ process with a view to entering next year. ABB sponsors the Sustainability Award and is looking forward to seeing this year’s crop of exciting entries.
According to the IET, the Sustainability Innovation Award is the most all-encompassing of all the categories. It is open to any innovations in the fields of engineering, science and technology that demonstrate a contribution to sustainability.
Entries can cover projects, processes, products and initiatives from individuals, small teams or organizations (both engineers and non-engineers). They can cover entirely new concepts or the development of existing processes or products.
The winners of this and other categories in the IET Innovation in Engineering Awards will be announced at the annual ceremony at the IET in London on 3 November 2008. Entries for the 2009 awards will be accepted from November this year. Keep watch at http://conferences.theiet.org/innovation_awards/ index.htm.
