Events at the Henry Royce Institute

This webinar, hosted by the Royce Data Curation Team, takes a conversational approach to presenting the motivation of our speaker to implement Open Research practices in their work, and will feature a demonstration on using the software ScaleBarIT: a free Windows desktop application that enables users to add scale bars to their microscopy images

Celebrating Interdisciplinary Sustainability Research will be the theme of this year’s Sustainable Futures’ Annual Conference, an event showcasing interdisciplinary sustainability research at The University of Manchester.

The Bragg Centre for Materials Research are excited to announce that registration is now open for the Bragg Exchange 2025, the University of Leeds’ flagship Materials Research Symposium.

This training course will explore basic practices and techniques for cleanroom use. Through a combination of taught lectures, discussion sessions, and practical training participants will gain fundamental skills for working in cleanrooms.

This workshop will engage participants in designing and developing outreach activities focused on atomic force microscopes (AFMs). It aims to inspire new materials science communicators, diversify existing outreach in the field, and help audiences explore materials science.
The content will include presentations by leaders in outreach and experts in materials characterization. Participants will be challenged to build AFMs for outreach use and develop supporting activities to convey scientific techniques and knowledge to diverse audiences.

Rising Stars is returning to the Henry Royce Institute in January 2025. Developed and delivered by early career researchers to celebrate and support the rising stars within under-represented groups in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields.

This workshop aims to bring together the local XPS user community to learn how to begin analysing XPS data.

In this session, Dr Matthew Allinson, an associate editor at Nature Reviews Clean Technology, will talk about how to publish articles with journals in the Nature Portfolio, with a focus on engineering and sustainability research.

This course will provide an introduction to advanced electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique in alloy imaging and characterisation. It will also provide an overview of the state-of-the-art facilities hosted by Royce at The University of Manchester, and other kit located with Royce partners. Routes to accessing Royce EBSD facilities will also be highlighted.

Join the Henry Royce Institute in Manchester on 14-15 April 2025 for it’s landmark PhD Student Conference, covering talks, workshops, and discussions on topics across materials science. The conference is being planned with early-stage PhD students in mind, those in their 1st or 2nd year who have not attended a conference before or had the opportunity to present. It will also be a great opportunity to learn more about materials science in the UK.
