IMECHE SPORTS ENGINEERING GROUP

A COMMUNITY FOR SPORTS ENGINEERS.

Part of the Biomedical Engineering Division, this group was created in 2024 to bring together people working on all aspects of engineering in sport.

The founding committee will be organising webinars, events, and acting as an advisory body to government.
