A free one-hour tour of the Electron Microscopy Facility in the Department of Materials Science at Cambridge University.

The Wolfson Electron Microscopy Suite is a dedicated scanning and transmission electron microscopy facility which was funded in part by The Wolfson Foundation.

The Suite is composed of a variety of instruments that enable materials to be studied across many lengthscales (millimetres to Ångströms) and that provide a wealth of spatially-resolved information including atomic structure, microstructure and defects, chemical composition, strain, electrical and optical and magnetic properties.

This tour will give an overview of the capabilities of the Electron Microscopy Facility as well as information on booking, funding opportunities and the work of the Royce Institute.

The 2024 Armourers and Brasiers' Cambridge Forum will be held on Tuesday 18th June 2024. The afternoon programme includes talks, the award of the Armourers & Brasiers’ Materials Science Venture Prize, displays of current research, and the 25th Kelly Lecture.

Promoting Materials Science to Industry and Academia

The Armourers and Brasiers' Cambridge Forum is held annually at the Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy in Cambridge with the aim of raising the profile of materials science in the UK academic and industrial communities, while being international in scope. The Forum attracts high-level involvement from industry, research councils and other influential bodies. It incorporates the Kelly Lecture and the Gordon Seminars, inaugurated in 1999 to mark the opening of the Gordon Laboratory in the Department. It is generously supported by the Armourers and Brasiers' Livery Company and a number of other sponsors.

Our Annual Conference brings together an audience of policy professionals, academic experts and business leaders for a day of talks and presentations, and to share and discuss issues and ideas on a range of topics from innovation and economic growth to climate and sustainability. Speakers from government, academia, and industry will present examples of how we are working together to address new and emerging policy challenges.

Networking sessions

In addition to keynote talks and panel discussions, this year our conference will provide a forum for attendees to participate in small group discussions on topics of particular interest led by academics and policy professionals in our network. Sessions will also provide an opportunity for tech companies and university researchers to showcase their work and its benefits to public policy.
