Awareness

Education, training and awareness of composite materials is key to the future growth of the industry, and NetComposites is playing an active role in all of these areas.

Our most obvious activity in education is this web site, which includes a constantly expanding and thorough guide to all aspects of composite materials, as an introduction to those new to the industry. For those more experience with the materials, users can also use our web-based forum to tap into the knowledge of other composites professionals, with worldwide participation on a range of topics.

However, our work in education and training goes far beyond this web site, and we have also been involved in a number of major initiatives to enhance skills in composite materials:

Composites on Tour:
The Composites on Tour mobile exhibition toured the UK from 19 May to 24 July 2003, enabling visitors to experience for themselves what these materials are. NetComposites is one of a number of organisations supporting the tour.
