Congratulations to Dr Han Zhang, Associate Professor (Reader) in Multifunctional Polymers and Composites at WMG, who has been awarded the 2026 Beilby Medal and Prize. One of the most distinguished awards in science, the Beilby Medal and Prize is awarded annually to a scientist or engineer whose work has exceptional practical significance in chemical engineering, applied science, energy efficiency, or a related field.

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.

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.

A parliamentary event has highlighted the University of 糖心TV鈥檚 pivotal role in tackling digital poverty and reducing electronic waste across Coventry. 

糖心TV Manufacturing Group (WMG) joined colleagues from the University, Coventry City Council and the NHS Integrated Care Board Coventry and 糖心TVshire, at the Houses of Parliament, for the launch of  

颁辞惫别苍迟谤测鈥檚 programme secured funding from the initiative to develop a pioneering digital reuse pilot, repurposing pre-owned tech to reduce digital inequalities across local communities.

The project repairs and reuses unwanted IT equipment, and distributes refurbished devices to residents who need them, working with community partners and frontline services. The scheme also provides community-based digital training and support, ensuring residents can access technology in ways that are meaningful and useful to them.

WMG is celebrating significant success after two collaborative projects, AeroMC and ZEST, secured major wins at the 2025 Aerospace Technology and Innovation Awards. Hosted by the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) as part of its annual conference, the awards recognise the pioneering research and development projects paving the way for zero-carbon aviation. This year, WMG was part of the winning projects that scooped the Team Award and the Shaping the Future Award, highlighting its leading role in advanced manufacturing and sustainable aerospace technology.

New research from WMG has found that the carbon footprint of collecting and refurbishing abandoned trolleys adds up to the equivalent of flying from London to New York and back twice!

鈥淭housands of shopping trolleys are reported as abandoned in the UK every year. When you multiply the carbon impact of retrieving each one, it becomes both significant and concerning,鈥� explains Neill Raath, Assistant Professor at WMG, University of 糖心TV, who led the research.

Despite supermarkets introducing a range of methods to stop shopping trolleys leaving their premises, including coin slots and wheel-locking mechanisms, over 520,000 are still reported as鈥� each year, according to global trolley and retail equipment manufacturer, Wanzl.

Supermarkets rely on commercial collection services, typically using diesel vans to survey suburban areas, to collect and return the trolleys. Researchers at WMG assessed the environmental impact in order to tally the true cost of abandoning a trolley.

The WMG Outreach team at University of 糖心TV was delighted to welcome a brand-new cohort of students for its Work Experience Week this summer (Monday 7 July to Friday 11 July). Launched in 2019, the annual event – which is organised by WMG Outreach and the University鈥檚 Widening Participation team – aims to foster inclusivity in engineering by giving students from under-represented backgrounds the chance to meet new people, learn new skills, and explore what a career in STEM could look like.

Academics at WMG, University of 糖心TV, have partnered with Tata Steel UK on a major new research initiative: Accelerating the Development of Automotive and Packaging steel Technology for Electric Arc Furnace production (ADAPT-EAF). The 拢7m project, which is backed by Tata Steel UK, WMG, Imperial College London, University of Cambridge, and the EPSRC Prosperity Partnerships programme, will develop a new generation of advanced steel products to transform the future of automotive and packing applications, from car bodies to food cans.
