  The James Watt Institute for High Value Manufacturing incorporates both the existing members of the HW-IMRC, and in addition the 20+ additional independent academic colleagues across 4 Schools, who are currently not part of the IMRC.

HWU has recruited a significant group of researchers whose areas of expertise align very well with the roadmap directions defined by the HW-IMRC for future opportunities for strong science-based engineering/technology destined to underpin new industrial manufacturing opportunities. Coupled with other strong research groups (not included in the original HW-IMRC selection for largely administrative reasons), the opportunity exists to grow the team of independent PIs working in a coherent fashion on relevant research by greater than a factor of three, to more than 20 independent principal investigators.

Having assessed these and other related factors, the HW-IMRC Management Group, with enthusiastic support of the (external) Steering Committee, conceived a plan for growth in HWU manufacturing research based on the creation of a new pan-university Research Institute focused on promoting internationally-leading research in topics and technologies that underpin high value manufacturing industry. The new Institute, which has been designated the James Watt Institute for High Value Manufacturing incorporates both the existing members of the HW-IMRC, and in addition the 20+ additional independent academic colleagues across 4 Schools, who are currently not part of the IMRC.

The HW-IMRC Steering Committee have agreed to act as Steering Committee for the James Watt Institute
