Events at the Henry Royce Institute

Discover exciting possibilities and connect to inspiring role models in STEM with the Big Bang.

Young inventors and experimenters, future game-changers and lifesavers all develop and shine in The Big Bang Competition. Big Bang Digital showcases surprising ways to build a brighter, greener world and Big Bang at School helps teachers run their own inspiring STEM days.

The Joint TCES and CDT Conference will take place over three days from 19th – 21st June 2024. The event will have in person presentations from International and UK keynote speakers in the cell and tissue engineering field with themes crossing the multiple areas such as bioengineered models, mechanobiology, enabling technologies and biomaterials.

This course explores milling, particle sizing and heat treatment techniques involved in the fabrication of advanced materials. The content will cover the application of these processes across Royce’s research areas in advanced metals processing, biomedical materials, chemical materials design, and nuclear materials.

To solve the grand challenges our society faces, we need to think differently. This is particularly true in established industries that produce the materials that form the basis of our economy – i.e. the Foundation Industries1. Inter-disciplinary collaboration between students and researchers will open up the possibility of innovative approaches to climate change and other global problems.

New Insights in Metals; from advanced characterisation to simulation’ is the Annual Postgraduate Research Conference in Metallic Materials hosted by the AMS CDT.

SolidState ionics is the fundamental underpinning science behind many of the electrochemical technologies needed to achieve net zero, such as fuelcells, electrolysers to produce green hydrogen, Li and sodium batteries for transport and grid storage.

The FEMS Junior EUROMAT 2024 will continue to inspire, develop and celebrate the skills and work of students and early career materials scientists and engineers.

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

The 30th International Conference on Amorphous and Nanoscale Semiconductors (ICANS30) that takes place in Manchester, UK, from the 4th – 8th August 2024.

The nanoFabUK symposium will serve as a dynamic learning and networking platform for Research Technical Professionals (RTPs) that manage or work primarily in academic micro/nanofabrication and characterization facilities (cleanrooms) from around the UK. This symposium is open to RTPs at any career level (from apprentices through to managers) and the wider micro/nanofabrication community.
