The Bhattacharyya Award is an annual award to celebrate collaboration between academia and industry. This prize of £25,000 is awarded to the team who best show how industry and universities can work together. On 24 October, the Bhattacharyya Award ceremony was hosted at the University of Birmingham, where Loughborough University and adidas were named as one of two winners for 2023.
In July 2019, the government announced the award as a tribute to Lord Kumar Bhattacharyya KT CBE FREng FRS, the Regius Professor of Manufacturing at the University of Warwick and founder of the Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG).
