MERI Symposium

The Industry and Innovation Research Institute (I2Ri) draws on talents, expertise and facilities across the university. The vision is to be the leading provider of applied research excellence delivering materials, computing, science and engineering innovations meeting the development needs of industry.

I2RI - Sheffield Hallam University

2021 will see the 10th annual Materials and Engineering Research Institute (MERI) Symposium.

We have a strong programme of oral and poster presentations, showcasing the diverse range of highly collaborative and multidisciplinary research undertaken by our talented staff and students within MERI, within the Research and Innovation Research Institute, across the university and with external partners.You will see and hear how we are addressing genuine real-world issues of significance to enable MERI to deliver against the development needs of industries that rely upon materials and engineering. In doing this, our work promotes healthy, independent living and is developing technology platforms underpinning and enabling the economies of the future. <a href="https://blog.shu.ac.uk/i2ri-conference/meri-symposium/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Our website </a><a href="https://blog.shu.ac.uk/i2ri-conference/meri-symposium/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>Inaugural Professorial Lecture:Antonio FeteiraWhat have ceramics ever done for us?Date: Tuesday, 8 June 2021Time: 16:00 - 18:00Venue: ZoomHistorically, the first tools were made from stones. Those stones meet our current definition of ceramics, which is the art and the science of making and using solid objects, composed essentially of inorganic non-metallic materials. This lecture will provide a “biased” view of the importance of ceramics in the modern world, particularly in the field of electronic ceramics. Indeed, ceramics are not only the oldest materials but are also among the most sophisticated ones.The Inaugural Professorial lecture is a highlight of the annual two-day MERI Symposium which this year takes place on Tuesday, 08 and Wednesday, 09 June. This lecture, which comes at the end of the first day of the Symposium, celebrates our new Professorial appointments and provides an ideal opportunity to learn more about the new Professor’s research interests. Professor Antonio Feteira gained his Chair position in May 2020 and will be talking to us about his ceramics research: What have ceramics ever done for us?The Symposium is an important date in the MERI calendar which all MERI staff and students are invited to attend as well as staff from Research &amp; Innovation Services, the Department of Engineering &amp; Maths, other key Research staff/members of the leadership team and external stakeholders.This year’s Symposium will also be part of the University’s wider Innovation Festival, with various events taking place throughout June, to which external stakeholders will also be invited.For more information<a href="https://netcommunity.shu.ac.uk/page.redir?target=https%3a%2f%2fwww.eventbrite.co.uk%2fe%2fprofessor-antonio-feteira-inaugural-lecture-tickets-151618383667&srcid=86075&srctid=1&erid=11864020&trid=643f1363-9e2b-48e3-97d7-3ef2b39141f4" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> click here</a>
