Technology Pull-Through Programme Webinar
Discover how you can use the NCC's Technology Pull-Through (TPT) programme to help mature your academic research to transition to industry with our TPT webinar.
Thursday, 10 Nov 2022
NCC, Bristol
Join the National Composites Centre (NCC) and the University of Bristol's Bristol Composites Institute (BCI) for their joint annual conference, hosted at the NCC.
The NCC and BCI work in partnership to address some of the key engineering challenges of our time, particularly focusing on how composites will ensure a net zero future for the UK.
The conference will showcase the cross-TRL work we conduct together, and how we can work in partnership with industry to advance and optimise their technology developments, and fast-track innovation.
In the morning, you’ll hear updates from the NCC and BCI on their work in Sustainability, Hydrogen and Digital. The afternoon session will focus on transitional research, and how the gap between the technology readiness levels can be bridged. The keynote presentation will be given by Kate Barnard, and the panel session will be chaired by Michele Barbour, and feature Kate Barnard, Matt Scott, Valeska Ting, Dominic Bloom, Kate Robson-Brown and Musty Rampuri.
