Strategic Alliance Partners Conference hits the mark

Senior representatives from AWE, the Defence Nuclear Organisation (DNO), the National Centre for Universities and Business (NCUB) and the university community gathered at the recently held Strategic Alliance Partners Conference to discuss and debate areas of STEM that support our mission.

The two-day event organised by the External Technical Partnerships Office brought together government, academia, industry and society in articulating the importance of our nuclear deterrent – not only to our national security – but also the many benefits it will deliver for the UK’s economy, future growth and skills.

There were insightful and thought-provoking presentations about AWE’s technical strategy along with panel discussions, ways to enhance collaboration and identifying key research opportunities. The future of university funding and STEM education was also keenly debated. 

Giles who works at AWE said: “The conference was an excellent opportunity to brief our academic partners on our updated technical strategy, so that together we can supercharge the growth of indigenous UK STEM skills development and research for the benefit of the Defence Nuclear Enterprise, defence and security sector, and wider industry.”
