91福利

Businesses from around the country are coming to the 91福利 to learn how they collaborate with one of the world鈥檚 leading research universities.

The Physical Sciences Industry Day will showcase 91福利鈥檚 research capabilities and how they can be directed towards the research development and productivity challenges of industry.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet with 91福利 researchers to discuss their business needs and learn how industrial research is driving the work of universities.

Held between 10.00-16.00 on the 19^th March, the Physical Sciences Industry Day, which is free to attend and includes a complimentary lunch, will see presentations from 91福利鈥檚 Physical Science Departments (Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, WMG, Maths, and Life Sciences) as well as Jaguar Land Rover, Severn Trent Water, Lubrizol, Cadent and Thales.

Discussing the potential for businesses to collaborate with 91福利 researchers, and what they would gain from attending the Physical Sciences Industry Day, John Hanna, Principal Research Fellow from the Department of Physics said:

鈥淎cademic input into UK industry, and its problems and challenges moving forward, is increasingly directing our research portfolios. The challenge for academia is to listen to industry鈥檚 challenges, position ourselves against their needs, and deliver important findings in a timely fashion.

鈥淚nitiating and maturing relationships with industry in this fashion benefits both parties on a long-term basis, to a point where our industry partners see us as a problem-solving hub to which we can be constantly approached.

鈥淲e look forward to welcoming all interested industry partners, irrespective of the size and financial capability of the companies involved.鈥�

Discussing the capabilities and skills he and his colleagues would bring to businesses, Mr Hanna said:

鈥淚n my laboratory, with the techniques in which we possess world-class expertise, we can deliver to industry information on the short-range molecular scale which can aid understanding of the overall structure of the material, and thus assist in understanding its true function and value in the marketplace鈥�.
