James
Watt Institute for
High Value Manufacturing The JWI
was conceived in 2008 as a vehicle for a substantial
expansion of the manufacturing research portfolio of
Heriot Watt University, by incorporating the exisiting
Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre at (HW-IMRC)
along with a significant number of additional HWU academics
under the coordinating umbrella of the JWI. HWU has
a highly-regarded tradition of industry-leaning research,
and the HW-IMRC with its strong track record provides
a powerful nucleus for an expanded and powerful, pan-university

multi-disciplinary
Research Institute, with ambitions to be a major player
on the UK and world stage. This growth in both research
capacity (and the concomitant industrial partnership networks)
is a response to UK national requirements with renewed
UK recognition of the need for a more balanced economy
with increased global competitiveness in high value manufacturing.
HW-IMRC
HW-IMRC is one of 16 formal
Innovative Manufacturing Research Centres (IMRCs) jointly
funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research
Council (EPSRC) and industry.
