CAM-IES/AIP Horizons Conference on Interfaces in Energy Materials
10-12 April 2018, Winstanley Lecture Theatre, Trinity College, Cambridge
The AIP/CAM-IES Conference: "Interfaces in Energy Materials" was held on 10-12 April 2018 at Trinity College, Cambridge. The conference was attended by 100 delegates from all over the world, with invited talks from research leaders in a broad range of energy materials fields.
CAM-IES offered eight bursaries to selected contributed talks, including the provision of registration and travel funding support to all participating students.
The conference was a great success with fruitful discussion, involving researchers from different fields tackling common materials and technology challenges.
