Events at the Henry Royce Institute

The day 1 Symposium will focus on “Advanced Microscopy in Materials Research” bringing together leading experts using and developing advanced microscopy techniques. The symposium will cover many aspects of microscopy-based material characterization, including advances in methods and instrumentation, data analysis, sample preparation and novel ways to apply microscopy in materials science. The keynote speaker will be Prof Sara Bals from EMAT, University of Antwerp.

The MACSMIN conference, taking place 15-17 September, includes invited talks from world leading researchers in Functional Materials, Mathematical Crystallography and Computational Geometry, also a 2.5-hour tutorial about the new area of Periodic Geometry and a brainstorming session on translating practical problems in crystallography and materials science to the language of mathematics and computer science
