The 2021 Agenda

SOLUTIONS TO THE BIGGEST GLOBAL CHALLENGES WE FACE TODAY WILL BE DESIGNED BY ENGINEERS.

THE 2021 AGENDA IS AN EXCITING PROJECT THAT INVITES YOU TO TELL US WHAT SOCIETAL ISSUES ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU.

Over the past year we’ve been talking to young people, industry connections and academics about the topic they feel is the biggest global challenge we are facing in the 21st century.
Follow #2021Agenda on social for the latest videos.

tell us what you’d like to see on the 2021 agenda

Shoot a 30-second video telling us about an issue that impacts your life and why the world's leading engineers should tackle it, and then submit it to hello@tedi-london.ac.uk.

Video not your thing? No problem. Send us a blog post, or follow @TEDILondon and get involved on our social media channels instead.

The videos, blogs and social media posts gathered from The 2021 Agenda campaign will be used to compile a report which we will launch 2021.  It will be TEDI-London’s manifesto – outlining the challenges and opportunities for future engineers.
