Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE)

Inspire the next generation! 🌠 We are recruiting dynamic volunteers to support ongoing IChemE engagement in primary schools for children aged 4–5. This will involve visiting local schools to read a storybook written by The3Engineers, as well as explaining what you do in your engineering career to open up a discussion with the children about their future aspirations. Virtual volunteer briefing sessions are being held on 6 August and 5 September, so if you would like to get involved in this exciting volunteer opportunity in the new academic year, please contact volunteer@icheme.org to book a space!

NEWS: A report published today by the Royal Academy of Engineering's National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC) calls for a radical approach from the UK government to drive the major infrastructure and system transformation needed to decarbonise the GB electricity system and provide clean power by 2030.  'Rapid Decarbonisation of the GB Electricity System' was compiled by an independent working group led by the Royal Academy of Engineering and features input from IChemE Fellow, Professor Nilay Shah OBE FREng CEng FIChemE. Professor Shah said: "It will be important to develop a strategic plan from which other key decisions will flow. These key decisions include deciding where new infrastructure and assets will be, as well as supply chain and procurement planning. "It will also include the development of a digital strategy to support roll out and real time operation of the system, and ensuring consistency with the interventions which will be needed in the following decades.” Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/eSiVxujn For more information on the role that chemical engineers can play in the energy transition, read our recently published report, 'Engineering A Sustainable World - The Chemical Engineering Challenge': https://lnkd.in/ezJCrJ84
