Materials & Manufacturing Show and Tell Series
Join us for a series of online webinars where UK academics showcase their incredible research with the aim of further developing these into commercial technologies through collaboration and partnerships with industry.
About the series
Innovate UK’s Materials and Manufacturing Vision 2050 details the opportunities that lie ahead of the UK Materials and Manufacturing sectors as we strive for a net zero future. However, the technological breakthroughs of tomorrow are not possible without the research we pursue today.
The Materials and Manufacturing Show and Tell series aims to increase the reach of innovative research born out of UK universities. Our academics are world leaders in terms of the quality and impact of the research they produce, and the scale up of their novel ideas play a vital role in boosting the UK economy and ensuring a more resilient, secure, and sustainable future.
