Events at the Henry Royce Institute

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.

An interactive programme of events to share insights and learning across foundation industries to support progression towards transformation. The forum includes a series of workshops with the opportunity for you to meet industry experts and leading academics

On 22 – 23 November 2023, the Royce will host another PhD Student Research Sandpit at its flagship Royce Hub Building at the University of Manchester.

This event offers a chance for PhD students to experience the research sandpit format, meet with their peers from the materials science community and work together on solving a challenging problem that exists within the discipline.

This Royce 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 ‘clean-fab’ cleanrooms. The content will develop theoretical and practical knowledge in processes such as lithography, deposition, and etching; with participants using what they learn to fabricate a micro-scale Field Effect Transistor.
