The Forum is a showcase of 21 work packages covered by MUSIC Programme funded by ATI UK.

The MUSIC Programme (Manufacturing Unequalled by Sustainable Innovation and Cost) will soon be drawing to a close, so it’s time to celebrate its achievements. At this event you can expect to see 21 interactive stands in the main conference hall and the street of the LDC , where you can come and talk to and hear from teams across Rolls-Royce, and its partners, about the fantastic work they have delivered as a part of MUSIC programme . Below is the list of 21 workpackages.

This programme is the culmination of several years of work as part of a joint RR/UK Government funded Manufacturing R&T collaboration. Rolls-Royce are the programme lead, supported by the University of Sheffield (Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre), the University of Strathclyde (Advanced Forming Research Centre), the Manufacturing Technology Centre, the University of Birmingham, the University of Nottingham and the University of Glasgow.

Come along to meet representatives from all these institutions and learn about how they are shaping future technology that will transform the future of Manufacturing for Rolls-Royce and across the UK.
