Roundtable report: engineering collaboration
As part of its annual Collaborate to Innovate campaign, The Engineer - in partnership with the High Value Manufacturing Catapult brought together an expert panel to discuss the benefits and challenges of collaboration. By Stuart Nathan & Jon Excell.
At a time of rapid technological change, when the boundaries between once distinct engineering disciplines and sectors are becoming increasingly blurred, collaboration has never been more important.
Indeed, sharing expertise, knowledge and different approaches to problem solving is frequently the key to addressing the big challenges we face as an industry and a society.
The fruits of this process are at the heart of many of the stories reported on by The Engineer and are also celebrated through our annual awards Collaborate to Innovate (C2I) awards program.

And how do you overcome the cultural barriers (and differing vernaculars) of different sectors and disciplines?
