Events at the Henry Royce Institute

Dr Chris Hamlett, National Outreach Officer for Discover Materials, will discuss his pathway through materials science and into outreach in the latest Stand Out Skills Webinar. He will expand on how his multidisciplinary research background in chemistry and physics helped on his path to making a career around inspiring the next generation of materials scientists.

We would like to invite you for our biggest event of the year. Join us and meet people from the foundation industries and build a connection.

This event joins researchers from the Institute of Work Psychology, Sheffield University Management School to find out more about the important human factors to consider when implementing an inclusive and responsible Digital Change.

The Graphene Hackathon is a two day event hosted at the University of Manchester. Participants will design, prototype and pitch a product using graphene to win prizes in an intensive and collaborative environment.

The Royce Data Curation team will host a 3-day workshop aimed at materials science researchers new to these languages, and those looking for a refresher; designed to give you confidence in using shell, Git and GitHub, and Python. You might be a complete beginner, or might have engaged briefly in the past. In developing these skills you will be well-placed to begin your digital research journey and apply basic computational approaches to materials data. A basic understanding would be helpful but not necessary.

The aim of this event is to foster debate, collaboration and interdisciplinary thinking to help develop new, or grow existing relationships across the University’s diverse group of Early Career Researchers studying the many facets of sustainability.

The conference is intended to be a forum for early career materials, minerals and mining scientists and engineers from across the UK to come together and present their research on the materials they are developing and working with, with the hope of improving presentation and poster skills, along with initiating collaboration between research groups, and between industry and academia.

Discover Materials are delighted to run a live, online event that can be streamed live into classrooms in the run up to the Winter break.
