Engineering X tackles global safety and sustainability challenges and promotes the contribution of engineering to solve them.
In 2019, Lloyd’s Register Foundation invested £15 million with the Royal Academy of Engineering to help establish Engineering X. Active in over 35 countries, Engineering X tackles global safety and sustainability challenges and promotes the contribution of systems approaches engineering to solve them.
Lloyd’s Register Foundation sponsors three programmes with Engineering X, each with a unique strategic vision and governance structure. The Safer Complex Systems programme aims to enhance the safety of complex infrastructure systems globally by encouraging more effective governance and deploying systems approaches.
The Safer Complex Systems programme aims to achieve long-term impact through a multi-year plan:
This strategy has been put into practice through various activities, including holding multi-stakeholder workshops between Colombian and international UK partners to understand the barriers and opportunities to increasing access to sustainable energy in Colombia, with a particular focus on including marginalised voices. Key findings from this workshop are available on the Engineering X website.
“Our world is becoming increasingly complex and unpredictable. People rely on critical infrastructures to survive, stay safe and maintain a good quality of life. Much of this infrastructure is made up of complex systems that are highly interconnected and interdependent on each other.”
