SATW is a network of key figures from science and industry. Individuals who make a special contribution to furthering SATW’s goals and/or the engineering sciences can be elected Full Members. All members are elected in a secret ballot of eligible voters in a procedure directed by the Nomination Committee.
19 new Full Members were elected in 2025, as a result of which SATW now has a total of 382 Full and 8 Honorary Members. The new members’ election will be marked at the Annual Congress on 27 May by a certificate presentation ceremony.
