Barrer Centre Symposium 

Barrer Centre, Imperial College London

Established in October 2016 at Imperial College London, the Barrer Centre's mission is to undertake ground breaking research, setting the agenda for materials science and engineering which leads to innovations in separation processes. In particular the Centre is focused on paradigm changing membrane and adsorption science and technology; and on the translation of its research into beneficial impacts on industry and society. It works across organic and inorganic materials, partnering with industry sectors including oil and gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, water and agricultural.
This year they will hold a symposium featuring the largest presentation of research into separation processes and membranes taking place in the United Kingdom. As part of this, Professor Andrew I. Cooper from the University of Liverpool will present the third annual Barrer Lecture on 'Designing Function in Porous Molecular Solids'.
The Barrer Symposium will showcase invited talks by leading experts who will provide insight into emerging technologies and discuss novel solutions to important problems in pharmaceutical, environmental, and industrial research and development. There will also be a poster session with submitted contributions.
This symposium will provide an opportunity for newcomers to obtain a solid foundation in the field and others to update their knowledge on the latest technology and approaches.
There is a long-standing tradition for research and development of separation techniques and methods at Imperial College, and their applications in a range of areas including pharmaceuticals, oil and gas and others.
Note: The Annual Lecture by Professor Cooper will be freely available to attend without pre-registration.
