Projects

Our projects promote and support high quality, cross-disciplinary research and innovative knowledge exchange activities.

Our current and recent portfolio of research and knowledge exchange activities ranges from fundamental research defining and measuring communication flexibility for smart logistics, to a collaborative programme of applied research with Welsh manufacturing firms (primarily SMEs) via the ASTUTE 2020 operation and a growing portfolio of Knowledge Transfer Partnerships.
