‘Engineering a Sustainable Future: The STEM behind Net Zero’ Expert Panel and STEM Alumni Awards 2026

We are pleased to invite you to City St George's for the STEM Alumni Awards Ceremony 2026. This year's edition will feature a panel discussion on the theme of ‘Engineering a Sustainable Future: The STEM behind Net Zero’. Our expert panellists work across aviation, energy, advanced engineering, and cybersecurity. The conversation will explore where the hard problems lie in reaching net zero, and how the next generation of STEM graduates can help solve them. This will be followed by a Q&A, where you are invited to pose your own questions to the panel and share your views.

The evening will also include the presentation of the STEM Alumni Awards to honour those who are making an outstanding impact. The 2026 award winners will be announced soon.

Hosted by Prof Bashar Nuseibeh, Executive Dean of the School of Science & Technology, this event provides an excellent opportunity to celebrate the achievements of this year's award recipients, network with alumni and leading academic and professional experts, and gain invaluable insight into the field of sustainability and STEM behind net zero.

Beverages and nibbles will be served during the course of the evening. You are very welcome to bring a guest but please add their name at the registration. Please note the dress code for this event is smart casual.
