Understanding project deliverables for the centre of excellence Dr Martin Howarth Director National Centre of Food Engineering
The National Centre of Excellence for Food Engineering Aim
The Centre of Excellence for Food Engineering will provide a unique,
national, R&D and innovation resource, supporting the food sector by
delivering a collaborative programme of R&D and innovation,
enhancing skills and promoting new knowledge.
Impact of the Centre Supporting innovation-led growth in key sectors;
•The national Centre of Excellence for Food Engineering is a resource for
the industry and is directly aligned with the Food and Drink Federation's
20/20 Vision strategy.
The centre will also:
Enhancing the economic anchor role of universities and colleges
within their localities;
•Sheffield Hallam will be working closely with Sheffield City Region
partners.
Stimulating employability, entrepreneurship and work-readiness
•An integral part of the employability strategy at Sheffield Hallam, and
will be further enhanced by the employer led curriculum development
group.
1. R&D and innovation solutions 2. A Network hub and focus for the food industry 3. Industry relevant competencies; CPD and work force development it will have
Food standard and sector relevant facilities and equipment
and deliver Food sector employment (graduates, technical development, new staff)
National Centre of Excellence for Food Engineering
The Centre will be a collaborative venture with the food and drink sector and it will deliver:

Additional organisations contributing to and benefiting from the
centre's activity
"Knight Warner are delighted to be associated with the Food Engineering
initiative at Sheffield Hallam University and, being so locally based, we can
exchange the practical skills of our electrical, mechanical and electronics
engineers with the academic skills if the students.
We look forward to developing innovative technologies via KTP's and skilling
our industry for the future.
The Made in Sheffield brand has stood as a standard of quality since the 1600's
and we will work with the University to ensue that this Internationally recognised
accreditation continues." Kevin Parkin Managing Director
