We are delighted to welcome Professor Eric Grimson, Chancellor for Academic Advancement at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Professor of Computer Science, and Bernard M. Gordon, Professor of Medical Engineering.
He will talk about how MIT is embedding AI and computation throughout the Institute – within the curriculum, in new degree programmes, and as a central research element in almost every department.
Professor Grimson is visiting Loughborough University to launch the UK Supply Chain Excellence Centre, a pioneering initiative poised to revolutionise supply chain management and logistics on a global scale.
The MIT Global SCALE Network is an interconnected system of innovation centres spanning four continents, in which Loughborough University will become the exclusive UK connection.
The SCALE Network stands as a globally renowned beacon of innovation in supply chain and logistics. MIT is an institution with an extensive reputation for academic excellence, ranked first in the QS World University Rankings 2024.
With a steadfast commitment to redefining industry standards and fostering transformative learning experiences, the SCALE Network has consistently pushed the boundaries of what is possible in supply chain management.
