Quanser and University of Manchester (UoM) are entering the 3rd year of their signed 10 year partnership agreement to develop collaborations and staff/knowledge exchange in Control Engineering and Robotics education and research. The first couple of years of the relationship were focused on establishing the now operational and state-of-the-art Control Engineering Lab located in the Nancy Rothwelll Building which serves students in the School of Engineering.
As part of the next steps of this agreement, it has been suggested by leadership from both UoM and Quanser to explore and identify areas of further collaboration and teamwork with focus and emphasis on research projects and applications. To achieve this, we formally invite you and your faculty colleagues to a half-day workshop in the afternoon of Wednesday March 12, 2025 hosted by Quanser at the Nancy Rothwell Building (exact room TBC).

Quanser has recently started to offer a new Grant Proposal Writing Assistance Program to help faculty with writing grant applications and increase their chances of success in securing funding. Among the objectives of this workshop, we aim to explore opportunities for UoM faculty and Quanser to team up and collaborate in submitting research grant proposals to agencies such as the UKRI in 2025 and beyond.
