Location
University of Nottingham
Jubilee Campus 522 Derby Road Nottingham NG7 2GX United KingdomDescription
The EPSRC Future Composites Manufacturing Research Hub would like to invite you to an Open Day which will take place on 12th September 2019, in the Advanced Manufacturing Building, Jubilee Campus, University of Nottingham. This free-to-attend event will celebrate the second complete year of the Hub, providing partners the opportunity to highlight progress to date and showcase project outputs. This will be a great opportunity for those across the composites manufacturing supply chain to learn about the latest research and developments in this field.
Proceedings will start at 10:00am with a welcome address from our Director, Prof Nick Warrior, followed by a keynote presentation from one of our industrial partners explaining the importance of the Hub to the UK’s composites manufacturing R&D strategy. Current PhD students will showcase their high quality and diverse composites research through a series of fascinating presentations and research posters.
A networking lunch will be provided, offering further opportunities to view the students’ posters, and cast your vote in the poster competition.
Attendees will discover how to engage further with the Hub, including the support the Hub requires to continue its development and expansion. Q&A sessions will provide opportunities to network and discuss research interests with Hub partners.
A programme will be sent via email to all registered delegates closer to the event.

The Future Composites Manufacturing Research Hub is a £10.3m investment by the EPSRC to engage academics from across the UK to deliver a step-change in the production of polymer matrix composites. The Hub is led by the University of Nottingham and the University of Bristol and initially included 4 other Spokes: Cranfield University, Imperial College London, the University of Manchester, and the University of Southampton. Three new academic partners joined the Hub in October 2017 following the first call for Feasibility Study proposals in May 2017: the University of Cambridge, The University of Edinburgh, and the University of Glasgow. Brunel University London joined the Hub in January 2018 following a second call for Feasibility Study proposals in October 2017. The Hub is supported by 4 High Value Manufacturing Catapult Centres and backed by 18 leading companies from the composites sector, offering a further £12.7m in additional support.
