WELCOME TO THE SCOTTISH REGION
This is site used to provide you with information about the events organised throughout the Region by our enthusiastic committees in Glasgow, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Inverness, Dundee (Tayside & North Fife) and Thurso.
Where possible, we try to align our events with the IMechE’s strategic objective - Develop Engineers, Promote Engineering, Inform Opinion and Encourage Innovation. Please have a look at your Area pages to find out what’s planned locally. If there is a topic you are particularly interested in which is not covered, please let us know and we will endeavour to include it in our future programme of events. Also, if you have facilities which may be used as a venue for an event or suitable subject matter, please get in touch.
If you have a little time to spare and are interested in joining the Committees, please also get in touch. We need enthusiastic volunteers. It can be very interesting work, good for developing your skills and also provides some great networking opportunities.
We now have over 10,000 members in the Region. Each committee promotes their local events to the membership of that area using the IMechE’s list server. Please make sure that you keep your contact details up to date!
By joining IMechE you can enjoy the many benefits that membership brings. If you would like to have a membership presentation or professional registration workshop at your workplace, or have a query relating to membership please contact our Membership Development Manager Sandra Mulligan on sandra.mulligan@imeche.org or 07887 931690.
The Region is always looking to evolve, improve the things we do and have greater member engagement. We welcome your feedback and participation.

Climate change continues to increase the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, which in turn undermine business proffitability and sustainability. It is essential that senior leaders understand their role in identifying and managing climate related risks. Clear expectations around leadership capability help organisations grow and strengthen resilience, protect people and the environment, and support safe, reliable operations over the long term.
