More 'traditional' voice required?

摘要

It has taken a while for Machinery to chase down details of Europe's Manufuture technology platform, as they pan out in the UK (see page 16). The output from the activity has included a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA), published in 2006, which: "defines a consensus vision of the research and innovation needs of high value manufacturing". Manufuture's visibility in the UK has been low. That's because the subsequent output here has been one of influence on other existing R&D initiatives, so the label 'Manufuture' is not explicitly linked with individual projects, although the UK Manufuture group will have influenced some. In other countries, the link between research projects and Manufuture seems to be more explicit.
