Description
Russia has a strong and long established track record in the aerospace, defence and specialist machinery sectors dating back to Soviet times where some 50% of their R&D effort was devoted to military applications.
The key aims of this mission were to:
> Gain a better insight into the current state of the art in mechatronics applications
> Study the core mechatronics technologies, skills and capabilities
> Identify specific mechatronics technologies, which could be transferred to the UK
> Identify any regulations/policy aspects governing the development of mechatronics applications
> Explore the future development of mechatronics applications from the Russian perspective
In addition to launching a written report, the findings of this mission will be discussed through a series of presentations and panel discussions. There will also be opportunities to network with other attending delegates during this free event.
This event is held with the generous support of the following organisations:
> The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) Mechatronics Forum
> The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Robotics & Mechatronics Professional Network
> The British Automation and Robotics Association (BARA)
- Registration required:
- Yes
- Free:

Additional information
DTI Global Watch Missions are visits by small UK groups of technical experts, drawn from industry and academia, to leading-edge technology organisations around the world. Missions offer direct access to the people, technologies and strategies that are driving progress overseas in the sectors of:
> Information Technology, Electronics and Communications (ITEC)
> Life Sciences (LS)
> Performance Engineering and Materials (PEM)
> Environmental and Sustainable Energy Technologies (ESET)
By visiting key organisations in a particular country or region, missions can offer the opportunity to:
> access technology, knowledge and connections not available in the UK
> identify technology opportunities and organisations in overseas markets
> network and share best practice
The findings and recommendations following each mission are detailed in a report and are presented at a free one-day seminar. To find out more or to register for this DTI Global Watch Mission Seminar, please contact Louisa Quilter on 01664 565084.
