Why the University of Sheffield is supporting the Big Innovation Centre

"The University of Sheffield is a civic university that supports innovation as a means of improving the world. Our community takes a straightforward approach to making a tangible difference, researching solutions to the big problems facing the world.

The Big Innovation Centre closely fits with our aspirations by focusing on research that will benefit the UK economy; specifically by encouraging industry and the government to work closely with research institutions to create a competitive advantage for businesses.

The University of Sheffield already advocates research and innovation as part of private sector growth with its Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC). Manufacturing research at Sheffield spans the supply chain: from advanced materials to the production of new technologies through to the fabrication of components. Our research is used across a wide range of sectors including aerospace, automotive and the biomedical industries. The AMRC is a unique model for bringing together industry, academia and government to deliver new innovations and a competitive advantage to partners in the manufacturing sector."
