Events at the Henry Royce Institute

You are invited to a business breakfast hosted by the Henry Royce Institute and delivered by the UK Circular Plastics Network to find out how the UK can create value from plastic waste, develop and implement new technologies and business models in order to enhance its plastic recovery infrastructure, develop more sustainable businesses, and establish and embed a culture that re-uses and recycles used materials wherever possible.

This event will be an informal kick-off meeting launching the Manchester Materials Modelling Centre (M3C), providing an informal forum in which to discuss the Centre, its remit and aims.

Presentations will include diffusion modelling objectives and obstacles from research groups.

Should the presentations take your interest, you are invited to stay for a discussion and mapping session where we split into smaller interest groups and identify overlaps and possible partnerships.

Join the Royce’s latest workshop to learn more about research in the field, and how it is underpinned by infrastructure and accessible equipment based at the National Graphene Institute (NGI) and the Graphene Engineering and Innovation Centre (GEIC).
Day 2 will feature a special workshop on Nano Infrared Spectroscopy, led by Dr Aravind Vijayaraghavan and Bruker, manufacturers of the Royce’s NanoIR3 system.

This focused workshop, in collaboration with Bruker, provides a hands-on introduction to one of the latest characterisation capabilities for 2D and other advanced materials: Nano Infrared Spectroscopy.

The Bruker NanoIR3 systems couple Atomic Force Microscopy with Infrared Spectroscopy capability, enabling nanoscale resolutions together with topological, thermal and electrical analysis.

The Henry Royce Institute in collaboration with the Discover Materials Network and the Institute of Physics (East Midland) will exhibit at this year’s New Scientist Live demonstrating the importance of surface and mechanical properties of materials.

Advanced Engineering is the UK’s largest annual gathering of advanced engineering professionals, connecting the supply chain to R&D, design, test and inspection, production, assembly, automation, materials processing and procurement from OEMs and top tier industry players.

On Saturday, 16 and Sunday, 17 November 2019, the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC) opens its doors for the world’s first Graphene Hackathon.
