GB Region
About
About the region
Our network provides a focal point for engineers of all grades and disciplines, and proactively encourages their continuous professional development through the delivery of a varied programme of lectures, seminars and networking events.
We maintain strong links with the third-level institutions in the region including Imperial College London, which plays host each year to a number of our network events.
We have strong links with other professional associations/organisations including the Institution of Civil Engineers
This year, our network started a chartership mentoring scheme amongst Irish Engineers based in the UK. By inviting experienced UK-based Engineers Ireland chartered members to mentor younger members who have not yet achieved CEng status, we hope to provide valuable guidance to graduate engineers during the initial stages of their career.
