Polymer
Innovation Network Wednesday 12th October 2016, 6.00pm 9.00pm
The Polymer Innovation Network (PIN) is back this October. PIN is a unique
networking event for the plastics industry based at the Universitys
International Institute for Product and Service Innovation (IIPSI), with over
100 active members. Find out about the latest materials research from WMG, at
the University of Warwick, current industry trends, and future technologies
while meeting and collaborating with like-minded businesses.
The theme for October's event is Skills and will pick up on some of
the key issues arising from the recently published CBI/Pearson Education and Skills Survey 2016
which confirmed:
'Businesses need increasing levels of skills among their employees - and the
skills-sets in demand tomorrow will be different from those required today'. In
addition, the same report concluded that '63% of SMEs fear that in the coming years there
will not be enough people to fill their high-skill jobs'.
