Rolls-Royce works with a global network of universities and research institutions, connecting some of the world’s leading academic expertise with the company’s engineering and technology priorities.
The flagship Rolls-Royce University Research Directors’ Seminar, this year held in Germany, provided an important opportunity to align research priorities, explore emerging technical and business challenges, and identify opportunities to accelerate technology from research to application.
This year’s seminar explored Rolls-Royce’s future technology priorities and growth opportunities, alongside the increasingly complex environment in which the company and partners operate. Discussions ranged from geopolitical challenges and the future of aerospace technology to Defence, Power Systems and the role of research partnerships in delivering future capability.
