Engineers in Business Challenge with Ingenuity, University of Nottingham
9 December 2020 Engineers in Business Fellowship (EIBF) is entering another exciting phase of its mission to support enterprise education in UK universities.
EIBF has teamed up with Ingenuity to encourage the development of innovative engineering solutions that tackle the key social and environmental issues the UK faces.
