Advanced materials research showcase

The Materials KTN is hosting the 2014 Materials Research Exchange (at Coventry's Ricoh Arena on 25 February 2014) to showcase the UK's Centres of Excellence in materials research and development. The event's aim and scope include:

  • Showcasing the richness of UK materials research to support the government's view that advanced materials are among UK's Eight Great Technologies
  • Closer collaboration between industry and UK materials research base
  • Increased public and private funding for UK materials research
  • Private equity support for commercialising UK materials research
Exhibiting organisations are invited to send graduate research students to present their academic work by poster and a prize will be awarded to the poster that is judged to be the best by the audience.

Backed by the Technology Strategy Board and EPSRC, further information about the event is here.
