The vision of the
James Watt Institute for High Value Manufacturing
at Heriot-Watt University is to be a leading international
provider of advanced manufacture-related research,
focused on science-based engineering and technology
that underpin the development of novel high value-added
manufacturing technologies, processes and products,
addressing the requirements of European, UK and
regional industries. It is intrinsically interdisciplinary,
drawing on the broad expanse of research at Heriot-Watt
University, collectively aiming to deliver innovative
solutions for highly customised and high IP content
products that enable European and UK Manufacturers
to compete in an environment of increased global
competition, environmental concern, sustainability
and regulation, where access to knowledge, skills
and IP determine where manufacturing is located.
Mission
Our mission is to deliver high impact research
in innovative manufacturing technologies based
on the multidisciplinary technology resources
across Heriot-Watt University as well as the Edinburgh
Research Partnership (within the Scottish Research
Partnership in Engineering), the Scottish Universities
Physics Alliance, our industrial partners and
beyond.
