We are a student-led charity that focuses on removing barriers to development using engineering. Our programmes provide opportunities for young engineers in the UK to learn about technology's role in development. By taking part in our activities, and with the support of the EWB-UK community, our members are making a difference to people's lives around the world.

News & Announcements
Posted by Ben Kyriakou, Friday 30th October 2009 @ 4:29pm More than 60 organisations in the UK alone offer some kind of technical support service to the development and relief sector.
Entire organisations are dedicated to the cause of sharing ‘know how’ to help make a difference in projects around the world.
Agencies invest time, money and some very clever people to help improve access to ‘know how’ for people in the field and for people wanting to find their own solutions.
This public event will bring together leading providers of technical knowledge for development and humanitarian relief.
Fair
Organisations are invited to exhibit their services at a stall in the fair and to present its work at drop-in sessions.
Forum
The event will also provide a forum for you to discuss ideas and issues with other providers, which might include topics such as: knowledge management; open licensing; new technologies; collaboration and sharing; and private sector knowledge providers.
The forum is your event – let us know what you would like to discuss and how you want to use it.

The entry rate to university in South Africa is generally under 1% - however, at this remarkable school 60-70% of students gain entry to university and have the opportunity to recieve a high standard of education.
This placement is open to all maths/science and engineering students, so come along and find out more!
