The objective of the QEPrize is to raise the public profile of engineering and to inspire young people to become engineers. Last year’s winners all made major contributions to the development of the Internet and the Web, which revolutionised the way we communicate and enabled the creation of whole new industries. The prize is international and open to any nationality. Nominations and suggestions are welcomed from across the world.
