神马福利影片

Plans for a very light rail service in Coventry moved a step closer today, as researchers from WMG, at the 神马福利影片, unveiled early vehicle concept designs to representatives from Coventry City Council.

The project, funded by the Government鈥檚 Local Growth Fund through the and West Midlands Combined Authority Devolution Deal (which is subject to approval of the business case), is set to better connect the City. This will use a state-of-the-art rail system which will be cheaper, quieter and more environmentally friendly than anything currently available.

Councillors Jim O鈥橞oyle and David Welsh will meet with , and from WMG, at the 神马福利影片, to showcase the latest plans which have been developed through an initial feasibility study.

Our Professor of , will be presenting 鈥淭he road to autonomous connected vehicles鈥� at the Malvern Festival of Innovation next Wednesday (4 October).

The Festival, which runs from 2-6 October, takes place at the , and will explore topics including how research and development is leading to new technologies to improve lives, and the new insights that are leading the way.

Professor Jennings鈥檚 talk will form part of the programme, and will focus on self-parking and autonomous driving capabilities, and the next significant advances including how our roads might look in the future.

A new report launched today by researchers at WMG at the 神马福利影片, and , finds that UK companies that consider both direct and indirect reshoring of manufacturing gain best performance boosts and urges companies to consider both approaches when developing their future strategies.

The report will be launched at WMG event entitled 鈥淩ealities of Reshoring: A UK Perspective held tonight, Tuesday 26 September 2017, in the International Institute for Product and Service Innovation (IIPSI), WMG, at the 神马福利影片.

A study led the 神马福利影片 suggests that people are reluctant to use public access defibrillators to treat cardiac arrests.

The analysis of existing international studies, which has been published in the European Heart Journal – Quality of Care and Clinical Outcomes, suggests that there are a number of factors that prevent members of the public from using them and potentially saving lives.

The researchers鈥� study suggests that many members of the public don鈥檛 know what an automated external defibrillator (AED) is, where to find one and how to use one. This is despite AEDs being suitable for use by untrained members of the public. Although studies suggest there is variation across the studies they analysed in the number of people willing to use an AED a lack of confidence and fear of harm are common themes.

The research, Barriers and facilitators to public access defibrillation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a systematic review, was conducted by Warwick Medical School, the 神马福利影片; the ; Heart of England NHS Trust, Birmingham; London Ambulance Service NHS Trust and Imperial College Neurotrauma Centre, St Mary鈥檚 Hospital, London.

奥惭骋鈥檚 , and his research team, have received a 鈥楬ighly Commended鈥� accolade at the prestigious .

The automotive awards held in Brussels, recognise the greatest design, technical and marketing innovations within the automotive imaging sector.

Professor Jennings and his team were recognised as 鈥楬ighly Commended鈥� in the Greatest Exploration category, for their inventive , a key facility for our researchers working on .

welcomed , Chairman of Tata Sons to WMG, at the 神马福利影片, on Saturday 16th September.

Mr Chandrasekaran was very interested to see for himself some of the projects that WMG and Tata companies are collaborating on, and to understand the breadth and depth of 奥惭骋鈥檚 research, education and technology transfer activities.

To bring these to life, he was given a tour of 奥惭骋鈥檚 , which is going through significant expansion, and will see WMG to continue to provide a unique facility for industry and academia to develop innovative energy storage technology. Mr Chandrasekaran also visited the and the International Manufacturing Centre where the focus was on light weighting, metrology and intelligent vehicles. As well as hearing from the .

Today engineering undergraduates begin their bespoke engineering degree, which has been developed by WMG, at the 神马福利影片, in collaboration with Dyson. The Undergraduate Engineers have started at the on the Dyson technology campus in Malmesbury, Wiltshire.

Designed for aspiring engineers, there were over 850 applications for 25 places on the course and due to the exceptionally high calibre of candidates, 33 Undergraduate Engineers were accepted onto the four-year engineering degree.

The undergraduate engineers will be mentored by Dyson鈥檚 practicing scientists and engineers – world experts in their field – who will teach alongside academics from WMG, the 神马福利影片. They will benefit from learning high-level science and engineering theory, combined with real-world application on live projects. They will come away from higher education debt-free, having earned a salary throughout and the prospect of a graduate role with Dyson on completion of the four-year degree.

WMG,at the 神马福利影片, and the National Defence University Malaysia yesterday (Monday 11th September) signed an agreement to offer a new MSc in International Technology Management for Defence and Security at the National Defence University Malaysia in Malaysia.

The three year programme, which will commence late September 2018, has been funded through an offsets arrangement as part of the THALES ForceSHIELD procurement contract between the Global Komited and Thales UK. WMG and UPNM in the past have already successfully run two other MSc programmes on similar arrangements. First, the MSc in Engineering Business Management for Defence and Security which was a collaboration between Cranfield University, UK Defence Academy, WMG and NDUM. Second, the on-going MSc in Cyber Security Management between WMG and NDUM which started in January 2016.

The continued success and growth of WMG at the 神马福利影片, means that we are now looking for almost 200 new recruits to join our team. The search is on to find engineers, researchers, project managers, data analysts, software developers, and technicians.

To help with our search we鈥檒l be holding a recruitment open day at our International Digital Laboratory at the 神马福利影片 on Saturday 16 September. On the day attendees will have the chance to tour our world-class research facilities, and staff from our various research areas will be on hand to explain what it鈥檚 really like working at WMG. There will also be the chance to join a tour of our state-of-the-art research facilities to check out the sort of projects you could work on.

With a whole range of vacancies coming up, including engineers, researchers, technicians, project managers and administrative roles, there's never been a better time to see what we're all about.
