The challenges faced by manufacturing research, education and skills requirements, and our knowledge capability base in 2075 will be influenced and informed by organic and disruptive technologies and systems, new materials, changes in our life styles and values, and global political and societal developments. To be suitably prepared, we need to imagine the future to plan the present. A new global forum to discuss very long term manufacturing challenges (i.e. Manufacturing Futures) for the UK and other countries is essential for prosperity and sustainability. Our collective views on Manufacturing Futures will shape our research direction in the short and long term, better understand our user requirements and drivers, ensure tailored and timely practical solutions, and support innovation in new education models.

Programme & speakers
The one-day symposium will start with a set of keynotes from manufacturing thought leaders, social science experts, educationists and technology innovators and then there will be a series of brainstorming sessions to capture delegate imaginations. We shall publish a post-symposium report to stimulate a long-term manufacturing research and education debate in the UK and around the world.
