The Academy operates a tiered membership scheme, enabling engagement for companies of all sizes. This, coupled with a policy of involving companies from across a broad range of sectors, ensures that the whole industrial and commercial community is included.
Members of the Academy benefit from a multimillion-pound shared research programme, consultancy from globally respected experts, access to educational programmes from a world-class university, recruitment and placement opportunities, and CPD training for professionals and IT operatives.
In addition to the research programme and other member activities, we are actively working with companies designing practical solutions to immediate and real-world problems.
