Position papers and advisory reports

NAE provides both solicited and unsolicited concrete, actionable advice to stakeholders within the knowledge and innovation ecosystem. Our focus is on three strategic priorities:

1. ecosystem improvements for technical innovation;

2. technological developments relevant to societal transitions and to the engineering process itself, such as digitalisation and AI;

3. shortages of engineering talent.

Our recommendations are often — though not exclusively — developed during NAE Forums, where Fellows and Young Engineers from across the full breadth of engineering disciplines reflect, analyse, debate, and collaborate to conclude at a broadly supported NAE position.
