The University of Huddersfield’s Centre for Precision Technologies will receive £3m over the next five years to lead research programmes to drive significant advancements in machinery design and performance.
The news follows the Government’s recent announcement that over £100m of new investment through its Strength in Places Fund will support five new landmark regional programmes.
One of these is the West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester based Advanced Machinery and Productivity Initiative, known as AMPI, which consists of 10 partners, including the Centre for Precision Technologies (CPT).
