The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) is delighted to announce that Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal will attend its upcoming Engine as a Weapon XI conference. This marks The Princess Royal’s first engagement with the Institute in her new role as patron.
Taking place over two days, Engine as a Weapon XI seeks to explore where new technologies and techniques can be implemented to increase warfighting advantage. The conference will showcase research across a wide range of fields to address the sector’s evolving challenges.
The Princess Royal, through her various patronages and association with the Royal Navy, has a deep affinity to the marine world. This deep-rooted connection to the sector, alongside her longstanding dedication to the environment, make her an ideal figurehead for the Institute.
Chris Goldsworthy, CEO at the IMarEST said: “It’s a great honour that Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal will join us at Engine as a Weapon XI. The event will drive forward innovation in naval engineering, and I am sure Her Royal Highness’s presence will enrich the experience and productivity of our delegates.”
Engine as a Weapon takes place 26-27 November 2006, at the Village Hotel, Portsmouth, UK.
