91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ

WMG, at the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ, has launched a new Master’s programme with Royal Mail Group which is designed to develop leadership talent in technology based industries. A wide range of Royal Mail Group staff, from all levels of management, are the first participants in this new programme.

Researchers from WMG at the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ have won gold at National Instruments Engineering Impact Awards 2018 for the WMG 3xD Simulator project. WMG’s 3xD Simulator is a world’s first-of-its-kind facility that enables autonomous vehicles to drive around in a virtual environment– accelerating testing before they are road ready.

WMG, at the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ, is leading a new £11 million programme to evaluate connected and autonomous vehicles which will work with a range of partners including Highways England. It further establishes Coventry, Warwickshire and the West Midlands as the heart of connected and autonomous vehicles research and development in the UK.

The Coventry and Warwickshire Business Festival is to return to the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ campus this November, with a range of events highlighting expertise in digital manufacturing, the potential of degree apprenticeships and developing business partnerships with India – with events between the 20^th-27^th.

It will prototype new vehicles and systems that will transform UK transport, by bringing together WMG at the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ’s research expertise, and Jaguar Land Rover’s leading research and engineering capabilities.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has announced that the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) will receive up to £20 million, subject to approval of a satisfactory business case, to enable WMG, at the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ to create the UK Mobility Data Institute, a focussed research centre to collect, process and analyse transport data generated by the advent of new mobility technologies such as autonomous vehicles and smart charging of electrified vehicles.
