Registration from 8:45 am
Registration for this event is closed

The Advanced Materials Research Laboratory (AMRL) is delighted to invite you to a workshop showcasing the development work carried out at our leading facility.

The AMRL provides a hub for multidisciplinary commercial and research projects and supports new partnerships in a wide range of applications such as Oil & Gas, renewable energy, transport (by air, sea and land), defence, medical, construction, sensor technology and printed electronics.

This workshop aims to provide an understanding of the vast array of material characterisation and analysis techniques that can be applied across industry sectors, and enable potential partners to identify collaborative opportunities.
