 ational Composites Centre\n\nDescription : The National Composites Centre 
 (NCC) has supported the drafting of the &ldquo\;2016 UK Composites Strateg
 y&rdquo\;\, which has been published recently by Composites Leadership For
 um (CLF). The key goal of this strategy is to capture global demand and de
 liver UK growth through multi-sector applications of composites. Consultat
 ion with the UK supply chain indicated a potential composites product mark
 et growth opportunity from its current &pound\;2.3bn to &pound\;20bn by 20
 30. The strategy recommended primary and continued research in composites 
 technology\, supply chain development\, skills and training\, regulation c
 odes and standards\, sustainability. The composites strategy requires the 
 UK to maintain its excellence in Aerospace\, Defence and Marine sectors\; 
 develop Automotive and Renewable sectors and diversify into Rail ustock\, 
 Construction and Oil and Gas sectors. The delivery of the strategy would r
 equire supports from the funding bodies and resources provided by the univ
 ersities\, the NCC and High Value Manufacturing Catapult and other composi
 tes centres. \n&nbsp\;\nCurrent research activities of the NCC were guided
  by the previous version of the CLF strategy\, while the future ones will 
 be aligned to the 2016 strategy. The presentation will include a selection
  of example research projects&rsquo\; description.\n\nContact Details:
