This inaugural meeting will showcase the cutting edge research - being carried out by TWI, funded by CRP - that concentrates on the predominant challenges Industrial Members are currently experiencing in particular technology areas and/or industry sectors that are critical to future operations.
During this in-person event, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from guest keynote speakers highlighting the value of the CRP including examples of impact and how it is responding to the changing demands of industry.
Attendees can engage with our technical experts during a series of elevator pitches and interactive panel sessions, visit the technical poster exhibition and demonstration area, and meet some of our NSIRC PhD students who are currently working on CRP projects.
As well as this, TWI’s Technology Fellows will be holding 1:1 sessions for Industrial Members to discuss their emerging technology needs and to influence the future direction of the CRP.
There are a limited number of sessions available and they will be allocated on a first come, first served basis when you book your place.
The day will close with a ceremony for The Welding Institute Richard Weck Award and the CRP NSIRC PhD Poster Competition, after which delegates can stay for an optional tour of TWI’s engineering laboratories.
Who should attend...?
The TWI Core Research Programme Panel Meeting & Exhibition is an exclusive event for TWI Industrial Members and is free to attend.
Please register by Friday 14 October to secure your place and book a meeting with one of our Technology Fellows.
