Events at the Henry Royce Institute

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.

In this online seminar, Dr. Bethan Davies, Research Associate. Imperial College London will give a talk on Testing batteries performance – Elucidating chemical degradation and SEI formation in batteries with microchip-based electrochemistry mass spectrometry

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. 

CHEMUK is the UK’s leading trade show supporting the R&D, engineering, sourcing, manufacture, and management of chemicals and formulated products.

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.

In this online seminar, Dr. Andrew Strudwick, Application Manager at the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre will give a talk on Graphene and 2D material deposition at the GEIC

This workshop aims to bring together the local XPS user community to learn how to begin analysing XPS data. Through the demonstration of basic analysis principles, working with training datasets, and user-submitted examples, the content will help users of the university’s XPS facilities develop understanding of best practice approaches to exploring their own data.

The Microscience Microscopy Congress (mmc) will be back in 2025! One of the biggest events of its kind in Europe, mmc2025 incorporating EMAG 2025 will bring you the very best in microscopy, imaging and cytometry from across the globe.
