The Materials KTN is hosting the 2014 Materials Research Exchange to showcase the UK’s Centres of Excellence in materials research and development – with MeDe Innovation to host an exhibition space.
Aim and scope
- Showcasing the richness of UK materials research to support the government’s view that advanced materials are amongst UK’s Eight Great Technologies
- Closer collaboration between industry and UK materials research base
- Increased public and private funding for UK materials research
- Private equity support for commercialising UK materials research
What are the benefits?
The expected outcomes from the event are:
- Increase UK and Overseas Industrial Funding for UK Materials Research
- Establishment testing of closer ties and identify opportunities for collaboration with the UK Materials Research base
- Highlight, Promote and Showcase the UK Materials Research base to UK public bodies (e.g. TSB, NHS, MOD and Government Departments) to encourage greater funding for R&D and New Product Development
Presentations, Seminars and Workshops
- There will be keynote addresses by high-profile industrialists on the importance of materials research to the competitiveness of their business
- EPSRC and the Technology Strategy Board will be staging a series of seminars and workshops
Poster Display and Competition
Exhibiting organisations are invited to send graduate research students to present their academic work by poster and a prize will be awarded to the poster that is judged to be the best by the audience. It is expected that posters would areas such as:
- Materials for sustainable energy generation, transmission, storage and efficient usage
- Lightweight materials to reduce energy consumption and emissions
- Materials with reduced environmental impact and approaches to reduce use of materials that may become scarce
- High-value added materials for healthcare and for asset and personal security
- Integration of new materials, coatings and flexible electronics to create smart devices
- Materials to survive in aggressive environments
Requests for poster space can be made via the online registration form.
