IET Stem Personality Of The Year Banner

IET@150 STEM Personality of the Year

In celebration of our anniversary in 2021, we’ve created a prestigious once in a lifetime award to recognise a person or group who are making a difference to our world. They could be helping local communities, fighting global challenges or benefiting society anywhere in the world, through a direct or indirect association with engineering or technology. They should be STEM role models for young people, highly regarded in their field and excellent communicators.

We received tonnes of impressive nominations throughout July and August 2020, giving our judges a pretty tough time! The winner or winners will be announced before May 2021, where they will give a guest lecture as part of our celebration event at IET London: Savoy Place.

Nominators were automatically entered into a prize draw to receive an Apple iPad 32GB (UK RRP £349), and the winner of this will be announced soon.
