2026 WES Student Poster Competition Winners

We’re delighted to share the results of this year’s WES Student Poster Competition: our inaugural showcase of emerging talent and engineering intelligence from across the UK’s best universities.

The competition concluded during the WES Annual Conference on April 16–17, where finalists presented their research to an audience of industry professionals and peers. Following a live vote by conference attendees, two standout students were selected for their exceptional contributions to engineering discourse.

Congratulations to our two winners Ayushi Yadav, (Middlesex University) and Grace Betta, (University of Birmingham). Their posters stood out for their clarity, originality and the strength of their engineering storytelling. We’re incredibly proud to recognise their work, along with the impressive submissions from all our finalists.

Thank you to everyone who entered and supported this year’s competition. The future of engineering is in very capable hands.
