This is great news for the UK as a world leader in research to accelerate the decarbonisation and elimination of air pollution both at sea and in major ports worldwide. The research hub, led by University of Durham should provide cost effective solutions, in terms of alternatives to heavy fuel oils that propel major cargo vessels across the world. Although LNG, as a fuel source is already in use, primarily in the high value holiday cruise industry, this only represents a small % of total maritime fuel used. CompEx Certification has a suite of competency qualifications: MT01-04 that enable certified technicians to ensure the safe installation, inspection & testing and maintenance of Ex-rated equipment in cruise ships, thereby providing’peace of mind’ for passengers and crew at sea and at berth, in port.

Project and program managers, why counting on luck to deliver on time and on budget? Numbers are here… systems engineering is a safer bet! Reach out for a practical, benefit focused deployment of systems engineering to deliver your projects with greater certainty.

Today, EAL Awards Managing Director Al Parkes and Industry Portfolio Manager - Building Services Engineering, Kevin Sparrow, are attending ECA - Excellence in Electrotechnical and Engineering Services' cross-party Reception ‘Recharging Electrical Skills’ hosted by Alan Whitehead, Shadow Minister for Energy Security. EAL engages with policy discussions to ensure technical education keeps up with changing industry needs & the #NetZero transition. We know that if UK engineers and employers have the right skills, recognised to the right standards, at the right time, they can prosper by playing a leading role in creating a more sustainable world. #Engineering #Skills for a more #Sustainable World.

DID YOU KNOW...? 🤔 #NSF #ENGsolicitations The Engineering Directorate at NSF (ENG) and The Lemelson Foundation have partnered to support environmental and social sustainability in engineering education. The partnership will co-fund projects for sustainability that, for example, address societal challenges; develop case studies and course content; explore engineering identities and sustainability beliefs; and/or integrate sustainability with engineering design. -Most ENG awards are for unsolicited ideas that come to our core programs, rather than specific solicitations. -You can submit proposals to ENG core programs at any time. -You can find potential programs that fit your research ideas by reading the program descriptions. -You can email program directors a brief description of your project idea to see if it fits their program. Now you know 🤓 Follow us for more opportunities and news around Federal Funding for Small and Innovative Businesses. Don't forget we can take your proposal further!🚀 #funding  #NSF #federalgrant #innovation #research

📢 Join us on Wednesday, March 27th from 13:00-14:00 GMT for a fascinating webinar on Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). This is the second instalment in our 2024 Lunchtime Lecture Series. SHM is a powerful tool that allows structures to generate and communicate vital information about their performance and potential changes in their health condition. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of our structural heritage and promoting the re-use and rehabilitation of structures, thereby reducing carbon emissions. 🌍 In this webinar, we’ll explore various sensors and data acquisition systems that can provide detailed information on structural health and performance. We’ll also delve into how this data can be interpreted and how SHM can foster innovation and low carbon solutions in structural engineering. 🏗️ The session will be led by Professor Su Taylor, a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institution of Engineers Ireland and the Institution of Structural Engineers. Prof. Taylor, who leads the Intelligent and Sustainable Infrastructure Group at Queen’s University Belfast, has extensive experience in the use of SHM for civil engineering infrastructure and in the development of high-performance concretes/advanced composites. She has published over 200 papers in top international journals and conference proceedings and currently leads the intelligent infrastructure work-package of a £4M EPSRC funded research project Towards Net Zero Public Transport. 🚄 Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from one of the leading experts in the field. See you there!
