About wales

Wales is built on a history of engineering prowess; with a history in technical innovation that streches from the very beginnings of industrial mechanisatio, driven by iron and coal, through to today’s digital manufacturing revolution in which virtual product design and simulation is being integrated with automated fabrication and robotic assembly. With Wales once again hitting the headlines with new energy revolutions in the form of Tidal Lagoon Power as well as attracting luxury British car manufacturer Aston Martin it seems only fitting that the Welsh Capital of Cardiff plays host to Engineering Wales.

About the NRN AEM

The National Research Network (NRN) in Advanced Engineering and Materials (AEM) sponsors Engineering Wales, with the project having been funded by the and the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) - the project forms one of the three Sêr Cymru National Research Networks.

Set up in 2013 as part of the Welsh Governments ‘Science for Wales’ intiative, the NRN AEM, is a pan-Wales project with its aim to promote research excellence and industrial engagement across a wide spectrum of engineering challenges.

The NRN AEM funds 62 projects which includes PhD studentship, Research Fellowships and major research project awards, addressing three thematic research areas of modelling, computational engineering as well as sensors and devices.

The projects goal is to develop collaborative partnerships through which increased funding, world class publications and a high profile, international prescence for Engineering Wales can be realised.
