This conference is the only national manufacturing research conference focusing on the leading edge (TRLs 1-4), taking a broad perspective on manufacturing.
- The aim of the conference is to build and network the manufacturing research community, exchange best practice and work in progress and communicate the value of the community to stakeholders.
- The conference is a national forum for defining and debating the objectives and approaches for Scientific Excellence in manufacturing research.
The conference is for, and led by, the community and is sponsored by EPSRC’s Manufacturing the Future Theme as part of their objective to develop the UK’s reputation for excellence in Manufacturing research. The conference will be open to all from academia and industry. It is expected that the EPSRC Centres for innovative Manufacturing will be well represented as will other current and earlier EPSRC and TSB sponsored activities in manufacturing including the Innovative Manufacturing Research Centres, Centres for Doctoral Training and EngD Centres, the Technology Strategy Board High Value Manufacturing programme and the High Value Manufacturing Catapult.
Presentations will be academic, industrial, international and from the EPSRC. Networking will be enabled by Exhibition and Poster Sessions. Academic plenary oral presentations will be selected from abstracts by the Conference Steering Committee to showcase the best and most relevant work. All those submitting abstracts will be given the opportunity to present a poster. All abstracts will be published in a printed format. There are opportunities to organise informal workshop sessions at the conference to exchange best practice, discuss topics of importance to the community, and for those other than EPSRC to exhibit.
