Entries open for MacRobert Award 2025
Entries are open for the 56th MacRobert Award, an annual celebration and acknowledgement of Britain’s most innovative and impactful engineering achievements.
The MacRobert Award recognises outstanding engineering innovations developed in the UK that can demonstrate commercial success and a tangible benefit to society. The winning team receives a £50,000 cash prize, the MacRobert Award gold medal, national publicity, and a weekend away at Douneside House in the heart of the MacRobert estate in Aberdeenshire.
The award is presented and run by the Royal Academy of Engineering and the MacRobert Trust, with support from the Worshipful Company of Engineers.
In a statement, Dr Alison Vincent CBE FREng, chair of the MacRobert Award judging panel, said: “We welcome applications from all engineering disciplines, companies of all sizes, to recognise the importance of engineering innovation in driving economic growth and addressing some of the greatest societal challenges.”
The inaugural winners in 1969 were Rolls-Royce for Pegasus – the world’s first short takeoff and vertical landing engine, used in the iconic Harrier aircraft – and Freeman, Fox and Partners for the Severn Bridge, which heralded a new era of bridge building and was Grade I listed in 1999.
