A few years ago AlphaGalileo ran a small seminar for British
engineering journos and PROs on ways to get more and better coverage
of UK research in the media. We got a guy from Fraunhofer to attend
and talk about how they operate, since they get plenty of media
coverage.
The outcome was a set of very simple suggestions to get UK
engineering better known and better understood by the UK/world media.
What happened to them? N'owt.
I hate using terms like this (especially if there are social
scientists reading this) but it does seem that sometimes the UK
engineering community has a victim mentality.
