Hub releases programme for 2019 Open Day
Published: 14th August 2019
The EPSRC Future Composites Manufacturing Research Hub has released its programme for the upcoming annual Open Day on Thursday 12th September 2019 at University of Nottingham.
This free-to-attend event will celebrate the second complete year of the Hub, providing partners the opportunity to highlight progress to date and showcase project outputs. This will be a great opportunity for those across the composites manufacturing supply chain to learn about the latest research and developments in this field.
There is still time to register to attend the event: https://cimcompopenday.eventbrite.co.uk
