On the 28th and 29th February, academic members of the FEMM hub joined together at the The University of Newcastle for their Quarterly Research Meeting (QRM). Kicking off the meeting, Hub Director Professor Geraint Jewell welcomed the team gave an update on hub matters. He then passed over to Dr Glynn Atkinson to update on 'Realising novel machine design freedoms from innovative manufacture' . The team then heard updates from Steve Forrest from University of Sheffield on 'Manufacturing high performance coils and ultimate control' and Dr Alexei Winter from AMRC, University of Sheffield on 'Manufacturing technologies for flexibility and customisation'.
Following lunch, the team discussed the FEMM Hub Policy Paper led by Professor Michael Ward.
After this and taking advantage of the fact we were all together, the group then undertook some Mental Health Training lead by Ryan from Luminate. The training covered self-care & support and supporting colleagues.
