For any of you involved in academic research you may or may not be aware that IAgrE owns a peer review journal, published by Elsevier called Biosystems Engineering (https://lnkd.in/d6s8tN_f). Biosystems is also the official journal of the EurAgEng - European Society of Agricultural Engineers. Please do make your academic research colleagues aware of the journal. https://lnkd.in/e_sdurdB

Really looking forward to an informative The Institution of Agricultural Engineers session with Bennamann Ltd and CNH to discuss methane capture and fuelling tractors Harper Adams University

This weekend (12-14 October) at New Scientist Events (New Scientist Live) at Excel London come and connect with Gareth, Kayleigh and Daniel to discover all about the incredible world of land-based engineering. We are part of the Farmers Weekly zone, working alongside John Deere, KUHN Farm Machinery (UK) Ltd and GARFORD FARM MACHINERY LIMITED to showcase the world of engineering and machinery. Want to find us? Look for the tractor! Come and get hands on with virtual driving simulators, help repair broken scale model machinery and also experience actual machinery up close and personal. If you help fix the machinery, you can also grab yourself a 'future land-based engineer' sticker! #WeAreLandbased #Engineering #FutureEngineers

The Professional Food Science, Engineering and Technology Group (ProFSET) are hosting the ProFSET Food Workshops 2024 at Whiteknights House in Reading on Tuesday 26 November from 9am to 3:30pm. IFST Education and Careers Coordinator Robin Leaper will be there to lead a workshop on education as part of the afternoon session on Promoting the Food Industry. This will include discussion of including food in the STEM curriculum in secondary schools, promoting the food industry as a career opportunity, and supporting retention in the industry through development, education, and training. Members of ProFSET include the Institute of Food Science & Technology (IFST), Institute of Physics (IOP), Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), The Institution of Agricultural Engineers (IAgrE), Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), The Society of Chemical Industry (SCI), The Society for Applied Microbiology (SfAM), The Society of Dairy Technology (SDT), The The Nutrition Society (NS). Together, the groups represent over 10,000 food and drink professionals as a shared voice, to share knowledge and inspire talent across the food sector.

So if you're an Engineer or a Technologist, and you're working within the #agricultural, #agrifood or #agritech space, you might not consider yourself to be in #agriculturalengineering, but in reality you are... So we've assembled a fantastic list of people who are going to tell us what they want out of the engineering community that work in agriculture...

Colleagues, contacts and friends in the West Midlands, Telford and Wrekin, Shropshire, and beyond. Details of the new digital and future-skill focused degree courses we are offering are available via the links below. This is alongside what we are offering for schools and colleges, and for business. We want the hardest to reach students to have an opportunity to benefit from this new space in The Quad to get them on the ladder to a work-ready career. In one building we have FE, HE, business, entrepreneurship, start-ups and political leaders. How you can help: - promote these opportunities with your communities, workplaces, connections so we get to the students who will benefit the most. Whatever stage they are up to, encourage them to get in touch. - many people are concerned that maintenance loans do not cover the full cost of living. You can help us tackle this by considering contributing to or funding a scholarship or bursary to take these concerns away. All amounts will make a difference. - offer opportunities for our young adults and mature students to gain experience in your company or organisation by coming in or letting some come to you. - Promote the location- next to the main Telford railway station means that accessing The Quad is much easier than many places. Right at the heart of Telford’s Business District. - if you have digital enabled equipment and machines that we can demonstrate with and to the students in The Quad, contact Parmjit Chima I ask my colleagues, friends and others connections to consider the above, to get on board to help us find those who will benefit from these opportunities, but also to share this development widely. Reposts are highly welcome and appreciated. It will take a collective effort to identify those that can and should benefit most, and to give them the best chance of accessing and succeeding through this new amazing opportunities. #togetherwewillmakethedifference #digital #robotics #automation #mechatronics #datascience #digitalbusiness #futureready #futurejobs Jacqui Smith Richard Parker David Sidaway Shaun Davies Harper Adams University Amie Burke The Institution of Agricultural Engineers Shropshire Community Foundation Shropshire Chamber of Commerce Parmjit Chima Dr Simone Clarke Telford College Invest Telford Capgemini Coforge Katherine Kynaston James Dunn GuildHE Institute of Directors (IoD) Society of Leadership Fellows Richard Heath Faheem Khan Doris Taylor MCIOF Simon Thelwell Andrew Wilcox Rebecca Payne Alex Hardie Alastair Dawes Stephen Goldstein CBE Judith Batchelar OBE George Dunn High Sheriff of Shropshire Office for Students
