The University of Manchester Aerospace Research Institute
-
The University of Manchester Aerospace Research Institute plays a vital role in positioning the University of Manchester at the forefront of international aerospace research.
- World class technologies and skills within the University not presently associated with aerospace are fully exploited
- Highly talented researchers and students are constantly recruited
- The Research portfolio is growing steadily, adding credibility to the University of Manchester as a partner of choice in aerospace research
- Strategic links are being built with the industry and other universities, particularly if they can advance the interests of the NW region. UMARI is already working successfully with the North West Aerospace Alliance, the North West Composites Centre, the North West Laser Engineering Consortium, to name but a few. -
