Transferring new ideas from research to practice

Researchers at the Institute for Manufacturing develop new ideas and approaches and these are transferred to companies and to national and regional governments by IfM Education and Consultancy Services (IfM ECS).  This is achieved through consultancy and executive and professional development.
