About this event

The Centre of Expertise in Advanced Materials and Sustainability (CEAMS) is a collaboration between key partners to help and support businesses to:

  • Commercialise a sustainable material(s) or
  • Develop an innovative idea to make the materials they use sustainable

CEAMS acts as a bridge between academic research expertise, commercial exploitation, and scale-up and has funding to help companies develop new processes and products, adopt sustainable materials, and reuse waste materials.

This event will feature talks on in-region advanced sustainable materials research, funding pathways, Royce growth enabling capabilities, and Q&A session, followed by the chance to discuss your key challenges in a roundtable format.

You will also have the opportunity for a 1:1 discussion with a member of CEAMS to talk about sustainable materials development or testing within your organisation.

If your business has a specific sustainable materials innovation challenge, you can bring along or submit material for further assessment. We'll be in touch to arrange this in advance of the event.

Please note, to attend your company must be based in the UK and registered with Companies House. If numbers are oversubscribed preference will be given to companies based within the Greater Manchester region.
