The University of Nottingham is establishing a research base in Italy in a bid to strengthen its alliances with Europe’s aerospace leaders.
Situated in the Campania region, the University of Nottingham Italy (UnIT) will allow its researchers to participate in high technology-readiness level (TRL) aerospace programmes and maintain access to industrial partners such as Leonardo, Airbus, Rolls-Royce Deutschland, Safran, Liebherr and Thales.
Serhiy Bozhko, director of the Institute for aerospace technology (IAT) at the university, said: I am extremely happy that our strong links and great history of cooperation with the Italian aerospace community has achieved a new strategic level with the establishment of University of Nottingham Italy.
