Work with other organisations

Aerospace Partnership

The Aerospace TPN works closely with its equivalent bodies of the IET's sister engineering organisations of the Royal Aeronautical Society and Institution of Mechanical Engineers under the auspices of the Aerospace Partnership.

Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety

The Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS) is an associate Parliamentary Group. Its objective is "To promote transport safety legislation to protect human life". Its aim is to advise and inform members of the House of Commons and of the House of Lords on air, rail and road safety issues. It brings together safety professionals and legislators to identify research-based solutions to transport safety problems having regard to cost, effectiveness, achievability and acceptability. The IET is a member via the three transport TPNs.
