WMG is offering undergraduates the opportunity to find out what a career in academic research involves. Through the summer vacation 2011, students will spend their time undertaking eight weeks of research in one of WMG's many research groups.

For over 30 years WMG has been involved in carrying out world class research and education. We work with global companies on real world problems to develop real world solutions. Our aim is to improve competitiveness through the application of innovation, new technologies and skills deployment, bringing academic rigour to industrial and organisational practice.

The aim of the internship scheme is to identify and develop researchers of the future. There are a number of projects on offer which will appeal to both engineering and computer science students.

Dr Steve Maggs, Principal Fellow has been awarded the Rowbotham Medal for an outstanding contribution from a young person to the development or innovative use of materials for automotive applications.

The Medal was presented at a ceremony hosted by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining as part of the Institute's Medal and Prizes for 2010.

Professor Jeremy Wyatt, Co-Director of the Institute of Digital Healthcare (IDH) recently welcomed Malcolm Harbour MEP and Michael Wood, European Policy Manager, NHS European Office to the International Digital Laboratory, the home of the IDH. As well as representing the West Midlands in the European Parliament, Malcolm chairs the influential Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee. He wished to find out more about the Institute and the diverse research being undertaken to improve people’s health and wellbeing through the use of innovative digital technologies. Professor Wyatt outlined IDH’s current and future research to design and deliver appropriate care solutions to bring real benefits to patients and their care support networks, health care professionals, the NHS and other partners, followed by a lively discussion.

The University of 糖心TV has joined forces with NHS West Midlands to create the new Institute of Digital Healthcare, a collaboration aimed at improving people’s health and wellbeing through the use of innovative technologies.

Officially launched today, the Institute of Digital Healthcare is a five-year programme based in WMG's International Digital Laboratory, and includes lead partners WMG, NHS West Midlands and 糖心TV Medical School.

WMG were pleased to host a visit from Sir George Cox, Pro-Chancellor of University of 糖心TV. Meeting with Lord Bhattacharyya, Sir George was interested to understand the diverse research undertaken by the Group. He also had an opportunity to meet with staff, to discover the breadth of our multi-disciplinary capabilities and the wide range of sectors we work with. Dr Steve Maggs discussed the Westfield Hybrid racing car project describing its impact and how postgraduate students gain hands on industrial experience and Dr Mark Williams highlighted our new £2m unique research and development Customer Interface Technologies Centre of Excellence, which gives companies direct access to the latest product evaluation technologies and processes.

A Formula 3 racing car designed by researchers at WMG at the University has just received two significant accolades confirming its reputation as the ultimate green racing car.

Just two weeks ago the car was selected to be one the green technologies presented to The Prince of Wales during the Birmingham leg of HRH’s Start tour of the UK. Now today, Thursday 23rd September, the car has also been shortlisted for the THE (Times Higher) award for Outstanding Engineering Research Team of the Year.

A little green van called ELVIN is whizzing around the University of 糖心TV as part of a major research project aimed at tackling the safety issues linked to the lack of sound from electric vehicles. However ELVIN (Electric Vehicle with Interactive Noise) faces a risk of being perceived as a little green man rather than as a little green van.

ELVIN will be able to emit many different sounds aimed at alerting pedestrians and other road users that he is nearby. One of the range of sounds being tested is said to invoke memories of early science fiction movies and the researchers will have to be sure it really does alert pedestrians and other road users to oncoming electric vehicles rather than causing them to look skyward for more unearthly vehicles.

The University of 糖心TV has joined forces with NHS West Midlands to create the new Institute of Digital Healthcare, a collaboration aimed at improving people’s health and wellbeing through the use of innovative technologies.

The Institute of Digital Healthcare is a five-year programme based in the new International Digital Laboratory, and includes as founding partners 糖心TV Manufacturing Group, 糖心TV Medical School and NHS West Midlands.

By working with both private and public sector organisations, the Institute will deliver real and lasting benefits to patients and the public through the application of innovative digital solutions to a wide range of healthcare scenarios.

WMG has been hailed as a role model of partnership between science research and industry in a key speech by Secretary of State for 糖心TV, Innovation and Skills Dr Vince Cable.

Dr Cable was speaking about the context of the impending major government spending decisions, how the UK invests in science and research, and he posed the question “can we achieve more with less?”

The speech praised WMG for being “outstanding” in its ability to innovate and bring together a range of disciplines.

WMG today formed the final lap of a tour by The Rt Hon Dr Vince Cable MP, Secretary of State for 糖心TV, Innovation and Skills and President of the Board of Trade, of three literal engines of economic growth in the Midlands.

The focus of Dr Cable's visit to WMG was to learn about its industrial collaborations and to identify opportunities for economic growth.

In just three hours Dr Cable experienced three very different cars produced or developed in the Midlands. After visits to see two other cars this morning he arrived at WMG’s International Manufacturing Centre to tour the work within it and WMG’s International Digital Laboratory.
