Wireless and Microwave Metamaterials: Early Career Researcher Showcase

We are delighted to present a showcase of state-of-the-art research into metamaterials for wireless and microwave applications. This is an opportunity to see a broad range of the current research taking place in UK universities and industry. Early career researchers from across the country will give short talks on their area of expertise.

This event, which will take place via Zoom, is suitable for academics, industrialists and policy makers at all career stages looking to find out more about the state of play in wireless and microwave metamaterials. It is online only, and will be used to identify key areas of interest amongst SIG members for future discussion groups. You will receive the Zoom link to the event after registration.
