Warwick Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre
Warwick Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre (WIMRC) was established at The University of Warwick in
2001 to fund and manage adventurous, multi-disciplinary research relevant to the future needs of UK organisations
operating in the global marketplace. It is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)
with supplementary support from industrial partners.
WIMRC has supported 22 projects to date under its Next Generation Healthcare Theme.
These projects cover Lean Health Processes, New Materials, Medical Tools and Virtual Reality in Healthcare.
