AWE Chief Scientist Rob Lock has been appointed Chair of the National Laboratories Alliance (NLA), succeeding Alan Brewin, formerly Science & Engineering Director at NPL, who has chaired the Alliance for the past four years.

Engineering is all around us. From the buildings we work in and the technology we use, to transport, energy, communications and healthcare, engineers turn ideas into reality and help solve some of society’s most complex challenges.

AWE recently welcomed colleagues from the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) for a visit that highlighted the very best of our people, facilities, and professional culture.
