Events at the Henry Royce Institute

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.

The Materials and Manufacturing Showcase will showcase the impact of £1.75 billion investment in materials and manufacturing, offering exclusive access to groundbreaking innovations and high-growth investment opportunities.

This workshop will bring together the residual stress community to explore new advancements in measurement and control methods, drive innovation, and train the next generation of research technical professionals (RTPs). The event also offers the opportunity to observe live demonstrations and network with industry and academic leaders.

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 Royce at the University of Cambridge for this talk from Prof. Todd Hufnagel; Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD. In this talk, Prof. Hunagel will discuss The AI for Materials Design Laboratory (AIMD-L) at Johns Hopkins University's design and implementation, with particular emphasis on the unique laser microflyer impact and x-ray characterisation instruments, along with the data architecture and handling that provides the unifying backbone for lab operations and its integration with AI/ML models for materials exploration.
