The IST is a really important organisation raising the profile and supporting the technical community.
I’m proud to be involved with the institute, initially as a member my association has developed as I joined the Tech magazine editorial committee and became an IST PPD assessor and professional registration assessor.
The Institute embodies my personal views of inclusivity and supporting life long learning. It’s an honour to be made a fellow and I look forward to my continued association with the IST.

The work that we do as a part of the Artificial Intelligence Group at the IST is making a tangible difference to both policy and people in the UK and abroad.
I am delighted by the results we have achieved and by my part in realising them. The connections we have made in national government and European institutions have allowed me an wonderful degree of personal and professional development, which the IST encourages and facilitates for all its members.
I am proud to be a part of such an inclusive, member-oriented, responsible organisation and I look forward to our association in projects to come.
Fellowships
This senior class of membership indicates a very high level of achievement in the field and an outstanding contribution to the profession.
Fellowship candidates will require considerable experience gained over a number of years of responsible work and be able to demonstrate important achievements relating to the application of science, technology and/or management skills.
Fellows of the Institute are elected by the IST Executive on the recommendation of a Fellowship Panel which comprises at least 3 Fellows of the Institute in good standing.
The Fellowship Panel will take into consideration, in support of each application, qualifications, professional work experience, and contribution to the advancement of science and/or technology.
Fellows are expected to contribute in some way to the activities and/or development of the IST and/or the UK technical workforce and the nature and extent of that potential contribution will be taken into account when Fellowship applications are assessed and renewals reviewed.
