Tata Steel and The Henry Royce Institute to set up Centre for Innovation in Advanced Materials

The two entities are joining forces on a collaborative research and development programme which will see Tata Steel investing £10mln over four years.

The new Centre for Innovation will be set up at the Royce Institute’s headquarters at the University of Manchester, UK. 

The new Centre aims to link up research on advanced materials with the broader UK innovation eco-system, involving multiple universities, catapult centres and the National Health Service.

Dr Debashish Bhattacharjee, Vice President, Technology and R&D, at Tata Steel, says, 'We have set up Centres for Innovation in India in key areas like Mobility, Mining, Mineral Research, and Advanced Materials. The Centre for Innovation in Advanced Materials at Royce is one of the first of Tata Steel’s multiple global satellite R&D and Technology centres planned in key strategic areas.'
