Launched in 2001 the purpose
of the IMRCs is to provide a focus for research excellence
in areas underpinning manufacturing, facilitating active
collaboration with UK businesses with effective knowledge
transfer and exploitation mechanisms, making a vital collective
contribution to the future of the UK economy and society.
HW-IMRC was created in 2003 in the second wave of IMRCs
initiated by EPSRC, with Phase I funding for 5-years.
Following a successful International Review in 2006, a
second 5-year Programme was launched in April 2008 with
EPSRC funding of £7.4M. Our main research focus
is key areas of applied science and science-based engineering
that underpin high value manufacturing. The principal
Themes of our research are in Digital Tools, Photonics-based
Manufacturing and in Microsystems for Manufacture.
The HW-IMRC is now ‘embedded’ within a new
and larger organisational structure - known as the James
Watt Institute for High Value Manufacturing.
"The Heriot-Watt IMRC is playing an important role in delivering EPSRC Manufacturing Strategy through creating, delivering and disseminating innovative manufacturing research in Photonics, Microsystems and Digital Tools to address major long-term manufacturing challenges in these areas".
Dr Katie Blaney, EPSRC Portfolio Manager - 21st July 2010.
