NIMRC's research portfolio is at the heart of the national manufacturing agenda and is active in the generation of patents and the construction of full scale demonstrators to enhance technology transfer. The Centre has strong links with industry in a range of sectors including aerospace, automotive, instrumentation, power engineering, steel, textiles and clothing, and consumer product sectors. With the exception of a small number of blue-skies projects, all projects are driven by industrial need. During the past 3 years, the Nottingham Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre (NIMRC) has continued to succeed in its stated objectives. By exploiting synergies between themes and research strands within the Centre and with other academic groups and industry outside the Centre, NIMRC has continued to expand its world-leading research portfolio and develop new directions. From a start of 8 principal investigators in the IMRC, this year we have an additional 15 investigators participating in current projects within the portfolio, complemented by 22 researchers and 29 research students. In the past 3 years, 9 students have been been awarded a PhD and another 7 are currently submitting their dissertations.The quality, timeliness and novelty of NIMRC's research is highlighted by its publication record. Since the Centre began, staff have published widely in peer review journals and presented at prestigious international conferences.The IMRC status has attracted a wider research community both in the University and without. The NIMRC continues to develop strategic partnerships with research groups outside the University and include many internationally recognised centre's of manufacturing excellence. The Centre also has strong links with other IMRCs. Already, NIMRC has collaborative research projects with Warwick, Bath, Cranfield and Loughborough IMRCs. NIMRC is also participating in the Grand Challenge 3D Mintigration related to the economic Manufacture of 3D Miniaturised Devices . NIMRC has made excellent progress during the last 3 years towards its stated objectives. It believes that the future research strategy it has developed will continue to address both the immediate and longer term needs of the manufacturing industry and it looks forward to providing the enabling research needed to improve the competitiveness of UK plc. The importance of NIMRC's world-class research is demonstrated in the composition of the Industrial Advisory Board which includes 20 senior industrialists from well established UK manufacturing sectors. The Board is impressed with the work of the Centre and the rapport with the Board of PIs. Board members have their own examples of how their company has benefited from the work of the NIMRC. In summary, Rolls-Royce and the Industrial Advisory Board fully support the activities of the NIMRC and will continue to do so. Chair of NIMRC Industrial Advisory Board, Mr Stephen Burgess, Manufacturing Process and Technology Director, Rolls-Royce Plc.

NIMRC的研究组合处于国家制造议程的核心，并积极参与专利的产生和全面示范的建设，以加强技术转让。该中心与包括航空航天、汽车、仪器仪表、电力工程、钢铁、纺织和服装以及消费品部门在内的一系列行业有着密切的联系。除了少数蓝天项目外，所有项目都是由产业需求驱动的。在过去的三年里，诺丁汉创新制造研究中心(NIMRC)继续成功地实现了其既定目标。通过利用中心内的主题和研究线索之间以及与中心外的其他学术团体和行业之间的协同作用，NIMRC继续扩大其世界领先的研究组合并开发新的方向。从IMRC的8名首席调查人员开始，今年我们又有15名调查人员参与了该项目组合中的当前项目，另外还有22名研究人员和29名研究生。在过去的三年里，9名学生获得了博士学位，另有7名学生正在提交他们的论文。NIMRC的研究成果的质量、及时性和新颖性从其发表记录中得到了突出的体现。自该中心成立以来，工作人员在同行评议期刊上发表了大量文章，并在著名的国际会议上发表了论文。NIMRC继续与大学以外的研究小组发展战略合作伙伴关系，包括许多国际公认的卓越制造中心。该中心还与其他综合管理资源中心建立了牢固的联系。NIMRC已经与华威、巴斯、克兰菲尔德和拉夫堡IMRC开展了合作研究项目。NIMRC还参加了与3D微型设备的经济制造有关的3D Mintigration大挑战。在过去的三年里，NIMRC在实现其所宣称的目标方面取得了出色的进展。它相信，它制定的未来研究战略将继续解决制造业的当前和长期需求，并期待着提供提高英国plc竞争力所需的有利研究。NIMRC世界级研究的重要性在工业咨询委员会的组成中得到了证明，该委员会包括来自成熟的英国制造业的20名资深工业家。委员会对中心的工作以及与投资促进局的融洽关系印象深刻。董事会成员有自己的例子，说明他们的公司如何从NIMRC的工作中受益。总而言之，劳斯莱斯和工业咨询委员会完全支持NIMRC的活动，并将继续这样做。NIMRC工业咨询委员会主席Stephen Burgess先生，罗尔斯-罗伊斯公司制造工艺和技术总监。
