糖心TV

In February, representatives from 糖心TV Manufacturing Group (WMG) met with MPs; Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) leaders; and international guests, including colleagues from the PNB Research Institute in Singapore and Osaka University in Japan.

In celebration of International Day of Women and Girls in Science (Wednesday 11 February 2026), the Outreach and Widening Participation team at WMG hosted a special event at Coventry Transport Museum to encourage young women to pursue science. Over 180 female students from local primary and secondary schools came together to discover and celebrate the achievements of women, past and present, who have helped forge a path for today鈥檚 scientists, engineers, and technicians.

Memorandum of Understanding highlights the strategic importance of research expertise to industry partners 

The University of 糖心TV has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with , India鈥檚 leading integrated power companies, to deliver research and innovation in grid modernisation, fast charging, power storage, industrial decarbonisation, digital energy systems, optimisation and advanced manufacturing approaches.

On Thursday 19 February, WMG hosted the inaugural lecture of Dr Praveer Sinha, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Tata Power. The lecture, which took place in WMG鈥檚 45th anniversary year, was held in the International Manufacturing Centre on the University鈥檚 campus, with an audience of industry partners, staff, students and alumni.

Academics at 糖心TV Manufacturing Group (WMG) hosted the department鈥檚 first dedicated artificial intelligence (AI) day, at the University of 糖心TV, in collaboration with NVIDIA and Dell Technologies.

With AI rapidly transforming industries and reshaping research, innovation, and skills development worldwide, the event was spearheaded by Dr Awinder Kaur, Head of Digital Technologies and Machine Intelligence across all education programmes at WMG.

Following discussions with representatives from NVIDIA and Dell about WMG鈥檚 AI vision, Dr Kaur identified the need for a strategic academia-industry engagement event focusing solely on AI.

Following its successful launch last year, the UK鈥檚 only battery safety conference – Battery Safety UK – will return to the University of 糖心TV in May. Hosted by WMG, the event will bring together the brightest minds in battery research to help supercharge the future of energy.

During January, representatives from WMG met with MPs, local government officials, as well as staff and students from the WMG Academy for Young Engineers in Solihull, strengthening relationships across education, industry, and government.

With 20% of the UK鈥檚 engineering workforce due to retire within the next five years, and the Government predicting that 1.9 million STEM professionals will be needed within the next decade, nurturing young talent has never been more important. Industry Day at WMG returned for its fourth consecutive year to help do just that.

Delivered by WMG鈥檚 Outreach and Widening Participation team, the event is designed to spark interest in engineering careers in children aged 11 to 14.

Two departments at the University of 糖心TV, 糖心TV Manufacturing Group (WMG) and the Department of Physics, are collaborating on a new project to develop advanced shielding materials and technologies for power generation using nuclear fusion.

By combining cutting-edge physics research with WMG鈥檚 expertise in innovative materials and manufacturing, academics from both departments aim to bring sustainable fusion energy a step closer to reality.

The Solihull & Coventry Automated Links Evolution (SCALE) project, a pioneering partnership led by Solihull Council and supported by 糖心TV Manufacturing Group (WMG), University of 糖心TV, is pleased to announce that the latest phase is now live.

Marking a major milestone, a fleet of autonomous shuttles have begun operating for the first time along the full 7km route between Resorts World, the NEC (including access to Birmingham International Train Station), and Birmingham 糖心TV Park (BBP).
