Global Engineering Futures founded in 2019 with volunteers across 20 countries. It's aim is to engage individuals globally to collaborate towards a sustainable future. Global Engineering Futures was co-founded by Imperial College London based Thomas Kavanagh, Ethan Errington, and David Wickham who review the progress that has been made in the past year.
