Events at the Henry Royce Institute

This three-day programme is comprised of site tours, case studies, roundtables and targeted discussions. The agenda will follow the Chatham House Rule; all participants by virtue of participation agree that anyone who comes to a meeting is free to use information from the discussion but is not allowed to name the person who made any particular comment. This increases openness of discussion.

This workshop will engage the next generation of materials science researchers and future entrepreneurs. It will equip participants with knowledge of the commercialisation process and steps needed to successfully progress a new material from research to product.

As the built environment’s premier event, Futurebuild provides the stage for inspiring ideas, innovative solutions and knowledge sharing to drive sustainable construction and help us reach our goal of net zero Royce will exhibit at Futurebuild 2024 alongside the Foundation Industries Sustainability Consortium (FISC).

This course will introduce thin-film deposition and analytical techniques for characterising thin films. The content explores physical vapour deposition techniques, and will cover deposition parameters, structural characterisation and the electrical behaviour of a simple device. Practical training will cover basic lab skills for working with the ultra-high-vacuum environments needed for high quality thin film growth. Through use of the Royce Deposition System participants will gain hands-on experience of, sputtering, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Each participant will grow and characterise their own samples, including taking measurements of film thickness and surface morphology. The course will also include a short session on cleanroom fabrication to make a microscale wire from a thin film.

The Henry Royce Institute is taking part in British Science Week for the second year in a row with an exciting program of activities.

Join the Henry Royce Institute in celebrating International Women’s Day with a career panel highlighting the achievements of women in Material Science and Engineering! 

Join us for this R&D community event to celebrate the launch of the position paper - Why Space? The opportunity for Materials Science and Innovation.

Join the Royce Research and Business Engagement team on 20 March 2024 to learn more about Round 4 of the Royce Industrial Collaboration Programme.   The call will open the funding on 18 March 2024, inviting proposals for projects which explore innovative materials solutions across one of four key scope areas with a clear focus on technology translation.

Join The Dalton Cumbrian Facility for their Spring Open Event at  in West Cumbria! This is your chance to explore the incredible facility and discover the amazing work happening behind the scenes.

In partnership with Micro Materials, Surface Ventures presents this event in which delegates will learn about mixed / boundary lubrication and its importance.
