Senior Teaching Fellow, Piotr Klin, was recently crowned 鈥楢mateur Sportsman of the Year鈥� at the Coventry Telegraph鈥檚 .

Piotr is a talented cyclist and coach who has won the Individual Time Trialling at the fourth National Masters, organised an open trial-cycling event in Princethorpe in September and narrowly missed out on taking the Polish National Hour Record. He is currently hard at work preparing a second attempt to break the record.

The 2018 Coventry and Warwickshire Sports Awards celebrate and reward the outstanding achievements and the exceptional successes of sporting stars from across Coventry and Warwickshire.

Researchers from the Institute of Digital Healthcare (IDH) at WMG are working with healthcare software experts at on 鈥楪eneral Practice of the Future.鈥�

Using Blockchain Technology, our team of Assistant Professor George Despotou, Research Assistant Jill Evans, Professor Theo Arvanitis and PhD student Tim Robbins are developing a digital consent service for the exchange of patient data across electronic health records in an integrated care setting. High levels of encryption allow information to be shared securely with consent, and audit records stored on a 鈥淏lockchain鈥� to ensure compliance with information governance rules.

Patients using this consent mechanism will be able to actively control how they share their data, and approve or refuse (case-by-case), from a mobile app.

Coventry City Council, working with the 神马福利影片, has taken the unusual step of arranging with the University to have a road named after Professor Lord Bhattacharyya.

The road running past the Prof. Lord Bhattacharyya Building (the home of the National Automotive Innovation Centre) will now be known as Lord Bhattacharyya Way.

, Leader of Coventry City Council said,

鈥淲e wanted to celebrate and honour a man who has done much for Coventry – helping to promote the skills of the city around the world.

鈥淲e are proud to be recognising a man who has done the same for business and employment and who not only has an amazing drive, commitment and passion for manufacturing – but also for seeing it succeed in our city.

鈥淪o, for a man who has put our city on the road to success, made sure we are heading in the right direction, and kept us streets ahead of the competition – we thought this would be the perfect honour.鈥�

WMG, at the 神马福利影片, has launched a new Master鈥檚 programme with which is designed to develop leadership talent in technology based industries. A wide range of Royal Mail Group staff, from all levels of management, are the first participants in this new programme.

Twenty five Royal Mail Group staff enrolled with WMG in September 2018 in a three year development programme which will enable the participants to gain a Leadership and Management focussed MSc from the 神马福利影片. The programme is aligned to the .

The three-year part-time programme combines workplace learning with block release study at WMG in eight one-week study modules, each followed by a work-based assignment plus a work-based project. The programme is made up of core and elective modules, giving participants the opportunity to develop specialisations of particular relevance to their current role and future career aspirations. It will lead to a 神马福利影片 MSc and a Degree Apprenticeship.

A report by WMG Supply Chain researchers, and , has revealed that manufacturers are still struggling to effectively integrate and analyse supply chain data, with many still only in the very early stages of digital supply chain adoption.

The report, 鈥� benchmarked the digital supply chain readiness of 179 European manufacturers, revealing that only 13 per cent currently have a 鈥榩rescriptive鈥� supply chain (categorised as level 3, out of a scale of 1-4, with 4 being a self-learning autonomous supply chain).

However, crucially, the report does reveal that manufacturers are keen to digitally transform their supply chains, with almost one third (31 per cent) predicting they will have a prescriptive supply chain in place by 2023.

Our Professor Lord Bhattacharyya was honoured to deliver the keynote speech at the prestigious Zienkiewicz Lecture, at , on Wednesday (28^th November).

Professor Lord Bhattacharyya delivered a lecture entitled: 鈥楾he mobility revolution: How innovation in automotive energy systems, intelligent vehicles and service customisation will transform how we travel,鈥� before being presented with a commemorative medal from Professor Roger Owen.

This has led to the exciting new EPSRC Tata Steel Prosperity Partnership flagship investment in long-term use-inspired fundamental research, where Swansea University and WMG come together to create a new 鈥榲irtual factory鈥� for rapid alloy prototyping.

Professor Lord Bhattacharyya began his career as graduate apprentice at Lucas; subsequently gaining an MSc in Engineering Production and Management, and PhD in Engineering Production at the University of Birmingham.

Researchers from WMG at the 神马福利影片 have won gold at for the WMG 3xD Simulator project. WMG鈥檚 3xD Simulator is a world鈥檚 first-of-its-kind facility that enables autonomous vehicles to drive around in a virtual environment– accelerating testing before they are road ready.

Chief Engineer Gunny Dhadyalla, accompanied by colleague Dr Jakobus Groenewald, accepted the award for the Connected and Autonomous Vehicles category at the National Instruments Awards 2018 for the WMG 3xD Simulator Project on the 6 November 2018. This was topped off by more success as WMG then picked up the award for the overall Engineering Impact Awards winners.

The WMG 3xD Simulator Project was one of two finalists for an award in the Connected and Autonomous Vehicles category. As winners of this category they faced stiff competition to beat the winners of other categories, who represented innovations from across Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa, to win the overall Engineering Impact award.

We are pleased to announce that our Professor of Operations and Supply Chain Strategy, Jan Godsell, has been recognised as the first ever winner of the 鈥業ndividual鈥� category.

Professor Godsell, who was nominated for the award by our Chairman Professor Lord Bhattacharyya, impressed the judges with the way that she puts practitioners, policy makers and the public at the heart of her scholarship, and her innovative approach to building impact through storytelling, poems, physical artwork and the media.

The Real Impact Awards celebrate the commitment to impact by the research community across the globe, honour the change-makers, and bring together key stakeholders in the impact debate.

The awards aim to raise the profile of individuals, teams and institutions that have placed real impact at the top of their agenda; recognise innovative approaches to impact; celebrate interdisciplinary research; bridge the gap between research and practice; and tell real impact success stories and showcase those driving the debate.

WMG, at the 神马福利影片, is leading a new 拢11 million programme to evaluate connected and autonomous vehicles which will work with a range of partners including Highways England. It further establishes Coventry, Warwickshire and the West Midlands as the heart of connected and autonomous vehicles research and development in the UK.

The 拢11 million Meridian 3 programme is funded by Innovate UK and brings together Highways England with Midlands Future Mobility, which is led by WMG at the 神马福利影片.

This addition to the Midlands Future Mobility project will enable connected and autonomous vehicle technologies, that have been developed using simulation and test tracks, to then be evaluated on roads in real-world driving situations, providing invaluable additional learning that will enable them to become a commercially viable and desirable means of road-transport.

The first cohort for our new Project Professionals Programme joined us this week at WMG. Accredited by the Association of Project Management, the two week course provides the key tools and frameworks needed for successful Project, Programme and Portfolio management.

Participants are fully prepared for their APM Project Professional Qualification exam, and upon successfully completing the course will also gain a Postgraduate Award in P3M that recognises their professional capabilities.

Jayne Redfern, Associate Professor and course leader said:

The course is the first of its kind to be offered by any University, and is being supported by the Association for Project Management who recognise our expertise in this area.鈥�
