In November 2025, NWCAM2 was launched. This project received PEACEPLUS funding of €9,981,033 through the Innovation Challenge Fund.

It aims to help 30 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing environmentally sustainable manufacturing processes and products, enabling them to innovate, reduce emissions and compete globally

I’m delighted to share that one of our MSc projects has now been developed into a published journal paper:

At Ulster, the MSc Smart Manufacturing Systems is designed to equip graduates with the skills needed for Industry 4.0—combining advanced manufacturing, digitalisation, data analytics and automation. Seeing student work progress to publication is a strong reflection of both the capability of our students and the supportive research-led teaching environment we aim to foster.

If you’re interested in developing the skills to innovate in modern manufacturing—and potentially see your work published—applications are now open:
