Awards

IMarEST is committed to supporting lifelong learning, rewarding both those starting out in their careers and those at the cutting edge of new developments in their profession.

Sponsorship Opportunities

The IMarEST awards and funding programme is designed to nurture marine engineering, science and technology talent, support academic research projects and reward academic achievement. Additionally, the programme recognises outstanding contributions made across the marine sector, in particular those which demonstrate societal benefit in the fields of marine sustainability, safety, international development and education.

A vast array of opportunities exist for organisations wishing to provide financial contributions to the awards and funding portfolio. For details download the opportunities brochure:
