The Knowledge Transfer Network will be hosting a one-day event at the RAF Museum on the 3rd June 2015, London to support consortia building for the Innovate UK collaborative competition - Game Changing Technologies for Aerospace.
Innovate UK is to invest £10m in collaborative research and development and feasibility studies to accelerate the commercialisation of highly innovative technologies for civil aerospace. Click here for more information on this funding call. Of interest are technology solutions which can provide a benefit to areas such as:
- New manufacturing solutions that enhance cost effectiveness and affordability and/or support increasing rates of production;
- Improved competiveness through novel or advanced materials and associated processing technologies;
- Technologies that enable improvements to overall vehicle performance and efficiency;
- Reduced cost of vehicle ownership through novel technologies or process solutions;
- New modeling and simulation techniques.
This one-day event organised by the KTN aims to bring together the Sensors and Electronics Communities with the Aerospace Community to address these challenges, discuss requirements and form consortia for the competition.
Confirmed speakers:
- Brian Allen, QinetiQ
- Phil McGoldrick, Safran Group - Innovate UK
There are opportunities for sensor and electronics developers to have 5-minute pitches at this event. If you are interested in this - please indicate so on the registration below. Places at this event are very limited, so please register as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
