Royce Materials Accelerator Forum 2018 

The Henry Royce Institute is the UK’s national institute for advanced materials research and innovation. With its Hub at The University of Manchester, the Royce is a partnership of nine leading institutions – the universities of Cambridge, Imperial College London, Liverpool, Leeds, Oxford, Sheffield, the National Nuclear Laboratory, and UKAEA. The Institute’s aims are to undertake world-class research in materials science, to accelerate the commercialisation of materials research for economic and societal benefit and to train the next generation of materials scientists and engineers to tackle some of our most pressing global challenges.

Henry Royce Institute

As the national centre for advanced materials, the <A HREF="http://www.royce.ac.uk/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Henry Royce Institute</A> supports SMEs with funding for research and development projects to accelerate the commercialisation of materials research and innovation.
On 13th November we will host the first Materials Accelerator Forum at the National Graphene Institute, bringing together the materials business community to explore funding, expertise and facilities access available to UK industry.
