Did you know?
The first Sir Henry Royce Memorial Lecture was organised in 1992 by the Institution of Incorporated Engineers (IIE), in association with the Sir Henry Royce Memorial Foundation.
The lecture is given by a distinguished speaker in the field of transport who has done much to perpetuate Sir Henry Royce's engineering philosophy – the pursuit of excellence.
The IEE and IIE merged in 2006 to become the IET who are proud to continue these lectures.
