Welcome The James Dyson Award!

📢 We are thrilled to unveil another patron for the 12th edition of EYEC, with the generous support of the James Dyson Award! 

The James Dyson Award is an international design award that celebrates, encourages and inspires the next generation of design engineers. It’s open to current and recent design engineering students, and is run by the James Dyson Foundation, James Dyson’s charitable trust, as part of its mission to get young people excited about design engineering.  

The James Dyson Award is your chance to make a name for yourself as an inventor. As well as winning a significant cash prize, you could generate media exposure to kick-start your career, earn the esteem of your peers – and perhaps gain the confidence to launch your own business. Entering is simple.  

The brief is broad. We’re looking for designers who think differently, to create products that work better.  

Engineers who follow an iterative design process. The judges – and James Dyson especially – are drawn to designs that employ clever yet simple engineering principles and address clear problems.  

As well as proving your project’s technical viability, we’d also love to see that it’s commercially viable, too – so include any research you’ve done into manufacturing costs and retail prices.  

This year the James Dyson will also looking for entries that address
a sustainability issue, or have been designed, sourced or manufactured sustainably. Find out how to enter   

“Young design engineers have the ability to develop tangible technologies that can change lives. The James Dyson Award rewards those who have the persistence and tenacity to develop their ideas.” -  James Dyson

Welcome a special guest of 12th EYEC!

We are delighted to introduce  Dr. Francisco M. Fernandes as a special guest of the 12th European Young Engineers Conference!

Francisco M. Fernandes obtained a degree in Applied Chemistry and a MSci in Environmental Sciences from the University of Minho in Braga, Portugal. He has then joined Prof. Ruiz-Hitzky’s group at the Materials Science Institute of Madrid (CSIC) to pursue a PhD in Applied Physical Chemistry, focusing on the interface between biopolymers and clay minerals in bionanocomposite materials. In 2011, he integrated the Laboratory of Condensed Matter Chemistry (LCMCP) at Sorbonne Université as a post-doctoral fellow, under the guidance of Dr. N. Nassif, where he developed collagen-based materials by spray drying.  

Dr. Fernandes was appointed assistant professor in 2013 Sorbonne Université (Materials & Biology team at the LCMC), and passed his Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches in 2022. In 2016 he held a position of Visiting Lecturer at the Department of Physics at King’s College London. His current research interests revolve around the transformation of “classical” materials fabrication techniques into biofabrication techniques. In particular, he has developed a recognized expertise on ice templating applied to biological entities—from biomolecules up to living cells. Dr. Fernandes has authored of 47 research papers, 8 book chapters and is the co-inventor of 7 international patents. In 2023 he became editorial board member of Advanced Biology. He leads the Materials and Biology research group at Sorbonne since January 2024.
