The Materials and Engineering Research Institute (MERI) of Sheffield Hallam University are holding a Ceramics and Glass Networking event on Wednesday the 29th November.

The Ceramics and Glass evening will focus on local businesses with interests in the ceramics and glass sectors and will provide an opportunity for your business to engage with us through the Sheffield Innovation Programme, and also to network with other businesses in the region. Technical information on our institute can be found at www.shu.ac.uk/meri. The Ceramics and Glass evening event will include brief talks from our own experts and Dr Trevor Gregory, a Knowledge Transfer Advisor at Innovate UK, a tour of our facilities, and a light supper.

European Regional Development Funding for the Sheffield City Region enables us to offer support to your business on an up to 100% funded basis. The programme is called Sheffield Innovation Programme (SIP), and can help you to innovate and support your business, and SIP gives us the capability to offer this service to you. All that is required is a little of your time!
