Organiser of 2021 Senedd Elections Science Hustings
The Institute was founded in 1857 and granted a Royal Charter of Incorporation in 1881. It devotes itself “to the encouragement and advancement of Engineering Science and Practice”, and was “established to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas amongst its members, and to place on record the results of experience”. In carrying out these functions, the Institute played its part in advancing technical knowledge and, through its individual members, has made important research contributions in many fields, through to 2007. In 2007, the Institute agreed to wind up its Learned Society functions, and to transfer all its funds into an Educational Trust. The Trust has agreed to continue with the Menelaus Lecture and Dinner as part of its activities.
The Institute now makes Bursary, merit and other awards, to both individual engineering students and educational establishments, and increasingly focuses upon “youth into engineering”, expanding into schools.
The Learned Society of Wales
The Learned Society of Wales is Wales’s first national scholarly academy. It was established and launched in May 2010. It now has more than three hundred Fellows, who are prominent figures within their respective academic disciplines. The Society’s guiding ethos is Celebrating Scholarship and Serving the Nation: as well as to celebrate, recognise, safeguard and encourage excellence in every one of the scholarly disciplines, its purpose is also to harness and channel the nation’s talent, as embodied in its Fellows, for the benefit, primarily, of Wales and its people. Its Strategic Aim is to be a sustainable organisation that is fit for purpose and that is acknowledged both as the recognised representative of the world of Welsh learning internationally and as a source of authoritative, scholarly and critical comment and advice to the National Assembly and other bodies on policy issues affecting Wales.
The Learned Society of Wales is keen to establish links with other organisations like SWIEET2007 that have complementary aims.
