Events at the Henry Royce Institute
And from around the Materials Community
27 October 2021
2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
The UK FIB & Prep User Group is an open forum for FIB users and all users of specimen preparation equipment for microscopes. The group exists so that members can share technique advances, discuss best practices, present experimental and theoretical findings/discoveries, exchange tips for preparation of difficult materials, 2D and 3D analysis of challenging data sets and learn about new developments in both instrumentation and techniques.
With increasingly fast development of FIB systems and sample preparation equipment in line and an increasing number of such equipment available worldwide, the Group’s talks on the cutting edge of current technology development and its wide range of applications from experts and researchers will bring fresh insights to participants.
This Group Meeting has been held annually in Manchester since 2013 in workshop format where attendees have a chance to chat with manufacturers and experts in the ‘Round table’ discussion.

Join us for the first instalment of the IOM3 Surface Technologies Group Webinar Series, where Royce Professor Ping Xiao will chair a discussion exploring the role of surface engineering in the energy sector. This session will delve into cutting-edge advancements in coatings, materials, and surface treatments that enhance performance, efficiency, and sustainability in energy applications.
In Collaboration with Verder Scientific, this course explores milling, particle characterisation, tube furnaces and hardness testing techniques involved in the fabrication of advanced materials. The content will cover the application of these processes across Royce’s research areas in advanced metals processing, biomedical materials, chemical materials design, and nuclear materials.
Hosted by the British Carbon Group, this event will explore the technical and scientific aspects of carbon research with the potential to be applied to nuclear decommissioning. There is an opportunity for UK researchers to play a key role in emergent technologies, especially those that could be transferred from other industries and applications.
This workshop aims to upskill Research Technical Professionals (RTPs) in the concepts of Automated Formulation by exposing them to World Class practitioners, speakers and the experience of fellow RTPs working in this area, along with a guided tour of the state-of-the-art facilities at the Materials Innovation Factory housed at the University of Liverpool.
This course will provide an introduction to energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis for alloys at the Royce Hub Building in Manchester.
The content will introduce the concepts for the generation of X-rays for alloy analysis and EDS techniques on bulk samples. Participants will cover experimental produres, quantification methods, sample preparation and analysis artefacts. The course aims to develop understanding and guidance for practical experimentation to ensure the collection of high-quality EDS data.
The 2025 Spring Meeting of the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) organized with the Foundation Jean-Marie Lehn will be held at the Convention & Exhibition Centre of Strasbourg (France), from May 26 to 30, 2025.
The conference will consist of 23 parallel symposia with invited speakers, oral and poster presentations assorted by a plenary session to provide an international forum for discussing recent advances in the field of materials science. The meeting will be augmented by an exhibition of products and services of interest to the conference participants.
