Key Enabling Technologies - Structured - Research
The following are the six key enabling technologies:
• Photonics;
• Advanced Materials;
• Industrial Biotechnology;
• Advanced Manufacturing;
• Nanotechnology;
• Micro-/Nano-Electronics.
Europe's future competitiveness depends on how its future labour force can master key enabling technologies. This MSc programme provides hands-on experience to enable students demonstrate their research potential using key enabling technologies in advanced manufacturing.
