Events at the Henry Royce Institute

X-ray powder diffraction is one of the most common in-house characterisation methods, with its application being of interest for samples including metals, ceramics, mastery materials and pharmaceuticals, Dr Lewis Owen has devised a course aimed at arming delegates with the knowledge and skills to devise their own diffraction refinement work.

Join the Henry Royce Institute for our flagship National Conference 2023, Collaborate to Innovate, to explore the impact of materials innovation and understand more about how important collaboration across industry and academia is transforming businesses and industries.

The Showcase will promote Royce Imaging and Characterisation capabilities from across the Partnership, embracing our state-of-the-art equipment which can probe the structure, composition, and mechanical properties of all materials from macro down to nanoscale.

Join the Faraday Institute from Monday 11 to Wednesday 13 September 2023 at the University of Birmingham’s Teaching and Learning Centre for what will be their largest and most open science dissemination and networking event to date.

This multidisciplinary event will bring together researchers working on optical nano-imaging and nano-spectroscopy with applications in a range of systems from solid state to biology. Techniques such as s-SNOM, nanoFTIR, AFM-IR and other tip-enhanced methods will be discussed

The Resource & Waste Management Expo (RWM) is the UK’s premier event for professionals working in the recycling, resource, waste, and broader environmental services industry. RWM invites participants to engage in critical discussions, explore ground-breaking green technologies, and to utilise the event as an international springboard for innovative waste and resource solutions that address the world’s environmental challenges.

Join Royce at the University of Sheffield at the UK Metals Expo 2023. The entire metals supply chain will be represented from primary metal manufacture, supply chain management, processing metals, fabrication, surface coatings and recycling with industry experts, leading vendors and trade attendees.

The first Henry Royce Institute ‘Fibre Technology Platform Showcase’ will introduce Royce equipment and capabilities to a wide audience, including both academia and industry.The event will feature talks from academics and industrial providers related to fibre technology research and development (i.e. commercial delivery/production and case studies of academic innovation). This will be followed by a facilities tour - including wet and melt spinning lines, the nanofibers to devices suite with pilot-scale production capability and melt-electrospinning.

National Graphene Institute (NGI) are running a workshop ‘Twistronics of 2D Materials: from modelling to real systems’. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers from different modelling communities and experimentalists to discuss recent advances in the field of twistronics as well as future directions.

In this webinar, Henry Shine and Neal Pollock, patent attorneys at Wilson Gunn, will provide a beginner-friendly overview of the main intellectual property rights and concepts applicable to the field of materials science. The aim is to help viewers better understand and navigate the path to research commercialisation, through a description of real-world case studies to show how the theory was put into practice for previous materials science innovations.

Stand Out Skills is a webinar series for early career researchers working in materials science disciplines. Hosted by experts, each episode will explore useful presentation, communication, or career skills for researchers which aren’t normally taught as a part of traditional education pathways for materials scientists.

Our September edition of the monthly Sustainable Futures Seminar Series will be held on Thursday 28th September 2-3pm.This event will discuss the 'One Bin to Rule Them All' project, led by The University of Manchester alongside 17 companies and local and national authorities.
