Nominations for the QEPrize - the most prestigious international engineering prize which celebrates the engineers responsible for a ground-breaking innovation in engineering that has been of global benefit to humanity - opened in March 2014, and entries have already been received from across the international engineering community.
Nominations close at 12:00 BST on 14 July 2014. The winner(s) will be announced in early 2015.
Lord Browne of Madingley commented "The bar was set extremely high for our inaugural prize in 2013. We are entering the final straight as far as nominations for the next prize go, and I am keen to get the message out that it is not too late to enter. To date we have received high-quality nominations from across the world reflecting the breadth and humanity of engineering."
