About

Aston University is a research-intensive university based in Birmingham, UK, with a strong focus on applied research, innovation and collaboration with industry. The University brings together expertise across engineering, digital technologies, energy, sustainability, health and business to address real-world societal and industrial challenges.

Aston has established strengths in smart and sustainable manufacturing, digitalisation, artificial intelligence, digital twins, advanced manufacturing, predictive maintenance, optimisation, clean energy technologies and industrial decarbonisation. Its researchers work closely with businesses, research organisations, public-sector partners and universities in the UK and internationally to translate research into practical solutions and impact.

Aston has extensive experience participating in multidisciplinary UK and European collaborative research and innovation projects, including projects addressing the twin green and digital transformation of industry. Relevant activities include digital twin-based production planning and control, intelligent decision support, industrial process optimisation, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance, energy and resource efficiency, life-cycle optimisation and cost modelling, and the application of clean energy technologies to energy-intensive industries.

Through its strong links with industry and interdisciplinary research environment, Aston University is well positioned to contribute research expertise, technology development, modelling and optimisation, demonstrators, validation, and knowledge exchange to collaborative Horizon Europe projects.
