To help strengthen the support for our future generation of engineers, we have established the FISITA Foundation as a UK registered charity.

Donations to the Foundation will create more opportunities for young engineers to take advantages of the unique FISITA Travel Bursary, in order for them to fulfil work experience opportunities within our industry.

FISITA has been supporting the world’s automotive engineering community for more than 70 years, encouraging and welcoming new talent into our industry

"My experience in Aachen was unforgettable and provided me with an opportunity to broaden my horizons and the motivation to develop my skills. I would like to express my deep gratitude to FISITA, to my institute and to the FEV Europe GmbH for this wonderful opportunity."

Pozhivilova Vasilisa, FISITA Travel Bursary Recipient, PhD Researcher NAMI

"Without the FISITA Travel Bursary, I wouldn’t have been able to cope with the costs. It helped me enormously to focus on studying and working at my placement. I am very thankful and greatly appreciate the support of FISITA to help young engineers going abroad and gathering valuable experiences."
