Latest Events

The visual dimension of cities has been a fundamental subject in urban studies, since the pioneering work of scholars such as Sitte, Lynch, Arnheim and Jacobs. Several decades later, big data and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing how people move, sense, and interact with cities.

This series of events comprises three online lectures and an in person event, all centered around the theme of 'Digital Image of the City: Application and Policy Implication of Street View Image Analysis'. The lectures discuss the latest developments in urban studies on street view image analysis.

Moderator: Jiayu Pan, Research Associate, University of Cambridge

Speakers: Dr. Ronita Bardhan, Associate Professor of Sustainable Built Environment, University of Cambridge

                 Maoran Sun, PhD Candidate at Sustainable Design Group, University of Cambridge

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.

On behalf of the organising committee, we invite you to the Warwick Battery Days (WBD) Workshop, scheduled to take place at the University of Warwick (UK), between 20-21 June 2024. 

WBD 2024 will be the first of the annual workshop series that is co-organised by the Warwick Chemistry and Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG). WBD 2024 will bring together leading experts from the experimental and computational battery research community as well as the from the industry, aiming to facilitate discussions on the current state-of-the-art in the field and the future directions based on industrial and societal needs. We expect the conference to attract around 100 participants.

For more details, please visit our website [WBD 2024].

WBD 2024 will cover an array of scientific topics, including (but not limited to):

• Multi-scale Modelling of Battery Materials and Systems
  • Materials discovery through crystal structure predictions

• • Atomistic modelling of chemistry at the surfaces and interfaces
  • Machine-learning applications in  battery modelling
  • Continuum and larger-scale modelling
• Experimental characterisation of Battery Materials and Systems
  • Electrochemical performance, structure-property relations, microstructures, surface/interface morphologies, and alike.
• Role of Additives and Coatings in Enhancing Battery Performance
  • Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and CVD in Battery Applications
