Innovation in Digital Engineering

Funded Support to boost UK Modelling & Simulation Activities

T​uesday, 1st October 2024

NAFEMS and the Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation have joined forces to launch an open call for UK organisations in the digital engineering sector, to offer access to specialist resources in AI, ML, and related technologies. The call will enable several UK companies to collaborate with the STFC Hartree Centre and leverage its high performance computing, data analytics, AI and quantum computing technologies and expertise. This is a fantastic opportunity to collaborate with the Hartree Centre on a fully funded basis.

The launch event will take place at Holiday Inn Coventry on 1 October 2024 and is free to attend for all interested organisations. The event will outline the available resources and the next steps for taking part, and welcome several technical presentations on the Hartree Centre’s capabilities, the collaboration with NAFEMS, and how the call fits with the UK Government's National AI Strategy.

Register your free place today and take the next step towards being part of the UK’s digital future.

16:30 Event Close

Within the engineering community, design is, more than ever, being driven by engineering simulation. This call will offer access to specialist resources in AI, ML and related technologies to explore how the use of these digital technologies may benefit the NAFEMS community.

The following underlying themes/technologies have been identified to make the largest impact and be of the most interest to the engineering analysis community:

• AI and ML
• Quantum Computing
• Digital Twins
• Through Life Engineering
• Multiscale
  

Project submissions are welcome from UK based organisations of any size, working in, or with the engineering sector, who want support to apply next generation digital methods and tools to overcome industry challenges.

In alignment with UK Government National AI Strategy, the aim of this open call is to demonstrate how digital technologies such as AI can help target sustainable productivity for both design and testing as well as manufacturing, and help organisations address issues of scale and efficiency using modelling and simulation and data management.

The call will be open for a six week period. We will fund up to eight applications, so apply now for your chance to gain fully funded support from the Hartree Centre’s high performance computing, data analytics, AI and quantum computing technologies and expertise.
