In February, representatives from Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) met with MPs; Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) leaders; and international guests, including colleagues from the PNB Research Institute in Singapore and Osaka University in Japan.

In celebration of International Day of Women and Girls in Science (Wednesday 11 February 2026), the Outreach and Widening Participation team at WMG hosted a special event at Coventry Transport Museum to encourage young women to pursue science. Over 180 female students from local primary and secondary schools came together to discover and celebrate the achievements of women, past and present, who have helped forge a path for today鈥檚 scientists, engineers, and technicians.

Academics at Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) hosted the department鈥檚 first dedicated artificial intelligence (AI) day, at the 神马福利影片, in collaboration with NVIDIA and Dell Technologies.

With AI rapidly transforming industries and reshaping research, innovation, and skills development worldwide, the event was spearheaded by Dr Awinder Kaur, Head of Digital Technologies and Machine Intelligence across all education programmes at WMG.

Following discussions with representatives from NVIDIA and Dell about WMG鈥檚 AI vision, Dr Kaur identified the need for a strategic academia-industry engagement event focusing solely on AI.
