Benefits and Services of your Membership.

The Institution offers a range of benefits to its Membership, to the Corps and to the wider military engineering community; the Members Services Committee exists to support work to broaden and deepen such benefits.

As a member you will proudly have MInstRE after your name and be fully supported by the Members Services Committee.  You will be joining a diverse community of over 10,000 military engineering professionals, with strong links to industry and academia.  Most importantly, you will be part of a community whose aim is to raise the level of understanding of military engineering and professionalism within the Corps of Royal Engineers through:

  • Promotion of military engineering – Initiating the design of events such as: lectures, joint professional meetings, battlefield studies, multimedia material and debates throughout the United Kingdom and abroad. Also includes informing the membership of civilian professional registration opportunities and how to obtain qualifications.

  • Encouragement of Individuals – the encouragement of individuals and other member groups to engage, contribute and collaborate with the InstRE to achieve its aim. There is a specific focus on journal articles and incentivising students to do well on selected courses.

  • Amplification of Events – Assisting the Institution to amplify events by partnering in conferences, symposia and workshops run by the Corps. This is likely to include making events available to a wider audience; and ensuring that the output of the event is captured and available for future use.

  • Being part of an inclusive organisation – Being part of an inclusive organisation whose activities and decisions consider the requirements of all members, including minority groups.

Committee

The Committee’s aim is to raise the level of understanding of military engineering and professionalism in the Corps by supporting the Institution’s membership.

Purpose - Strategy - Plan

Annually, the Member Services Committee produces a plan with two tiers of events. Tier 1 are the premier events and will be coordinated by the Chief Executive. Tier 2 events will comprise conferences, symposia, joint professional meeting-styled conferences, pre-recorded lectures and focused workshops on relevant subjects. In addition, the Contemporary Engineering Challenge series is the key mechanism to encourage members to engage and contribute to the professional debate.  The Committee is responsible for selecting and awarding prizes for the Contemporary Engineering Challenge and any other RE Journal competitions that may from time to time be arranged.
