Be part of the H.A.T revolution!

The Service Systems group is inviting businesses and SMEs to attend the official launch of the H.A.T project (Hub-of-all-Things), a £1.2m multi-disciplinary project funded by the Research Councils UK Digital Economy Programme.

The two-year project, which begins on June 2013, involves a team of 20 researchers from the domains of Economics, Business, Computing and the Arts across six UK universities of Cambridge, Edinburgh, Exeter, Nottingham, Warwick and the West of England.

The event will provide you with the opportunity to meet the H.A.T. research team as well as to discover the plans and ambitions for the project, as the team begins the process of building a diverse community of stakeholders around the H.A.T.

This seminar day will include key note presentations from James Buchanan, Product Development Engineer at Jaguar Land Rover and Dr. Greg Gibbons, Head of Additive Layer Manufacturing Research at Warwick Manufacturing Group. The event, run jointly by MTA and WMG, is a must for manufacturers especially those in the automotive sector or based in the West Midlands. It will provide a rare opportunity to find out how ALM technology is applied in one of Britain’s most innovative automotive manufacturers and will also offer the opportunity to find out about the support for small businesses that WMG are offering at the International Institute for Product and Service Innovation.
