COVID-19 update

The Institution continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 outbreak and, in line with UK Government and World Health Organisation guidelines, has implemented measures to mitigate the impact on our members, volunteers and staff around the world. This includes the transition to organise more of the Institution’s activities through virtual means. All remaining 2020 & 2021 Speak Out for Engineering (SOfE) local competition heats have been moved to a virtual platform. The competitions will be carried out in different physical locations with the competitors, SOfE organiser, judging panellists and audience members all present through video conferencing. SOfE guidance documents for 2020 & 2021 have been revised to reflect this move to a virtual platform.
