About us
WMG is an academic department at the University of Warwick. Our research and education bridge the gap between academia and the public and private sectors, driving innovation across science, technology and engineering. WMG was founded by the late Professor Lord Kumar Bhattacharyya in 1980 to help reinvigorate UK manufacturing and help businesses overcome barriers to innovation. WMG’s pioneering research and education programmes, in partnership with UK and global business, has helped to transform firms in sectors such as automotive, advanced manufacturing and digital technologies. Our track record makes us the first choice for global businesses looking to invest in new techniques, products and skills that have a real impact on economic growth, society, and the environment. WMG’s education programmes begin with schools, following through to undergraduate and postgraduate level. Our focus is on creating lifelong learning opportunities for global talent in partnership with industry. We provide a range of courses and education programmes, from the WMG Academies for Young Engineers, degree apprenticeships, undergraduate and postgraduate Master’s courses, through to professional programmes and research degrees. WMG’s postgraduate programmes have international reach, with many being offered with global partners, allowing us to share our knowledge with working professionals as well as full-time students in a local industrial and economic context.

Introducing Waste2Race – a collaborative project, led by our students and engineers, to create a race car using recycled sustainable materials. The team aim to complete the project in 2025 and use it to showcase a wide range of sustainable concepts that are being developed across the University of Warwick and in industry. Researchers at WMG will also use Life Cycle Assessment analysis to ensure the car leads the sustainability race as well as breaking speed records. Head of the Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing Research Group at WMG and Warwick’s Deputy Pro-Vice Chancellor (Research), Professor Kerry Kirwan commented: “This sort of collaboration with our local, regional and national partners is a great example of how business, universities and the endless curiosity of our researchers and students, can break barriers and push the boundaries of what’s possible. “We’re incredibly proud of the ingenuity of the whole team and wish them all the best of luck in their land speed record attempt.” Read more: https://bit.ly/3BGkcT7 #RecycleWeek #Sustainable Research Severn Trent; National Composites Centre; @Dr James Meredith Stuart Coles

Our Pro-Dean Education, Professor Gill Cooke; and our Associate Professor Dr .Benjamin Silverstone are really looking forward to taking part in the Future of Work conference later. At the conference, co-hosted by Dr Phil Jemmett from our Outreach team, Professor Cooke and Dr Silverstone will be sharing their expertise, with parents, teachers and young engineers, on manufacturing careers and skills. #WMGOutreach #Skills #STEMCareers #FutureofWork
🔎 “I didn’t know I could be an engineer!” In one of many short-talk sessions at the Future of Work in October, Obaloluwa Osundina will be sharing his career story, navigating the journey from school student to his role as a tooling and fixtures design engineer at Jaguar Land Rover UK. Two thirds (64%) of UK adults believe engineering jobs are crucial to addressing society’s biggest challenges like climate change, according to polling research commissioned by the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2023. Yet, knowledge of routes into engineering, outdated perceptions, and exposure to engineering careers, can hold back many young people from exploring the profession. With a mix of sessions guided by industry experts and young professionals, the #futureofwork conferences will give parents, students and teachers a first-hand look at high-tech manufacturing and engineering careers, explore pathways into the industry, and the future skill demand for these vital jobs. Obaloluwa Osundina’s talk can be heard at our Warwickshire conference. 🗓 Monday 14 October 2024 ⏰ 4:30pm - 8:00pm 📍 The Slate, University of Warwick, Coventry, CV4 7SH 🔗 Save your seat: https://lnkd.in/eMNJnCGV The Design & Technology Association The ERA Foundation Phil Jemmett Sophia Gibbs Will Stirling Matt Chilton WMG, University of Warwick David Greenwood Dr .Benjamin Silverstone Debora Mazzetta Yan Pugh-Jones Iqra Hamid Alex Zarifeh Sophie Young

Ratan Tata was a titan of business who will be remembered at WMG for his inspirational passion for engineering and design, and for his personal kindness, humility, and deep insight. A close friend of our founder, Lord Bhattacharyya, Mr Tata visited WMG, at the University of Warwick, many times. We are greatly saddened by his passing, and our deepest condolences go to his family, friends and the entire Tata community. Read statement from Dean of WMG, Professor Robin Clark here: https://lnkd.in/eFSV3Q2C
It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of Ratan Tata, a visionary leader and a cherished friend of our University and region. Throughout his remarkable career, he led Tata Group with profound effectiveness, rescuing Jaguar Land Rover and in doing so, creating jobs and securing futures for countless people in the West Midlands. Together with our own Lord Bhattacharyya, Mr Tata was instrumental in establishing the National Automotive Innovation Centre, a beacon of research and development that has left an indelible mark on the automotive industry. He was inspirational in the development of WMG, University of Warwick and so many colleagues will remember him very warmly.

At WMG, we’re proud to be advancing the future of energy storage and playing a crucial role in the electrification of transport. We remain committed to collaborating with industry to push the boundaries of sustainable innovation. “For the first time, we’ve been able to use lab x-ray sources to study battery cell degradation under real operating conditions, without compromising the cell to do so,” explained Louis Piper, Professor of Battery Innovation at WMG. “This pioneering approach has enabled us to study prototype cells under conditions equivalent to driving a car on the motorway and acceleration. The information gathered means we can adapt design solutions to suppress degradation and improve battery performance and lifetime to benefit industry partners in the UK and beyond.” Read the full article! 👇 #Electrification #BatteryResearch #BatteryInnovation Melanie Loveridge Eleni Fiamegkou Nickil Shah Ashok S.
