The Showcase event was held at Engineers House in Bristol, followed by a celebratory dinner at the Hotel Du Vin, Avon Gorge. The event marked the launch of a brochure to summarise the IDC activities, highlighting the taught units and IDC research projects, including articles on Research Engineer journeys and their study tours.
The IDC has been running since 2013 and recently recruited its final student. The Showcase and brochure mark this milestone.
The Showcase was a special cohort building and feedback event for the IDC Research Engineers to celebrate their achievements, as well as the support from our industrial collaborators, academic partners, and supervisors.
Many IDC alumni, as well as academic and industrial supervisors, attended, along with some specially invited VIP guests. The Showcase proved to be a wonderful opportunity for the cohort to come together in person and provide an insight into their diverse research activity in composites manufacture through a series of oral and poster presentations.
