CAM-IES Workshop: Multi-Modal Characterisation of Energy Materials

This workshop highlighting cutting-edge microscopy techniques to characterise materials for energy applications. It will explore approaches to correlating multiple modes of microscopy (temporal, spatial, chemical, structural, functional, energy) on the same area to reveal important structure-function relationships in energy materials and device structures.

This workshop also showcases short talks and posters from early career researchers investigating materials for energy applications.

Travel bursaries are available to all student delegates, all poster-presenters, and all postdoc delegates from CAM-IES partner institutions (i.e. UCL, Newcastle University, and Queen Mary University). 

This workshop is vegetarian/vegan only. If you have any dietary requirements, please contact sls55@cam.ac.uk.
