This free-to-attend event celebrates the first complete year of the Hub and the continuing success of the IDC. The Open Day will precede the 11th International Conference on Manufacturing of Advanced Composites (ICMAC 2018) at the University of Nottingham. Highlights of the Open Day include two industry keynote speakers and technical presentations from all research projects currently funded by the Hub. For students, there will be quick-fire “elevator pitches” with the current IDC cohort, and a poster competition. Q&A sessions will provide opportunities for you to network and discuss your research interests with us. You will discover how you can engage further with the Hub, including the support we require to continue our development and expansion. 
Drinks Reception: The Open Day is followed by a Drinks Reception held in the Advanced Manufacturing Building Foyer from 4.30pm-6pm.  Please indicate on the questionnaire during registration if you will be joining us.
