Overview
The 1st Annual Dalton ECR Conference bringing together researchers showcasing novel applications across the full spectrum of nuclear science. The focus of the Dalton ECR Conference is on innovative applications, creative approaches and new uses of nuclear technologies, whether related to energy or wider nuclear applications.
The event highlights universally relevant ideas and techniques that can inspire and inform the broader community. We welcome contributions that demonstrate new methods, unconventional applications, or approaches that open new possibilities in nuclear research. We also welcome internal applications from PhD students at the University of Manchester and its associated CDTs across the respective universitities.
The conference is hosted by the Dalton Champions, a network of researchers drawn from across the University of Manchester’s nuclear research community. The Champions work to enhance and strengthen the Dalton network by connecting researchers across departments and disciplines, reflecting the diverse and interdisciplinary nature of nuclear research at the University.
Join us as we explore the ingenuity shaping the future of nuclear science.
