2006

Are you sitting comfortably? Then we shall begin …

Marking the 200th anniversary of the birth of Isambard Kingdom Brunel and the 40th anniversary of the award of Brunel University’s Royal Charter; 2006 was a great year for Made in Brunel.

Realised, driven and managed by a team of dedicated students; the brand and show came into existence; celebrating the values of innovation, entrepreneurship and Brunel himself. The Made in Brunel show took place in the prestigious Gallery Hall of the Business Design Centre in Islington for the first time, presenting projects developed by graduate students of Brunel University with guest work on display from our partner university in China, Tsinghua.

A special book and DVD were designed and created completing the success of the first Made in Brunel show, presenting the whole School of Engineering and Design in an integrated way. It also became home to the IKB Awards this year; a competition for the best ideas in innovation, enterprise and engineering.
