IET Futures Fund

Dr Arthur Frank Harvey left a sum of money in trust to the IET.

The terms of the Trust specify that the money is to be used for the furtherance of scientific research into the fields of medical, microwave, radar or laser engineering.

This generous action was the spark that launched what is now the IET's Futures Fund, the IET's dedicated fund to support STEM education.
