From transport, defence, security, information and communications technology, to advanced
manufacturing, materials are fundamental to a host of cutting edge technologies used in our daily
lives.

This Horizon symposium will showcase exciting new research in materials at the University of Cambridge.  Attendees will learn about University research in materials and their applications, including alloys and steels, flash memory, novel thin-films, light emission and photonics.

Experience a day of seminars from the University's leading academics in these fields. 
See an exposition of similar and related work from across the University.
Meet and network with prominent academic and industrial peers over lunch, throughout the day, and at an evening drinks reception.

This event will be of interest to organisations from a number of industrial sectors, in particular
to aerospace, transport, energy, construction, security and defence.

HORIZON is the University of Cambridge's leading seminar series which provides an exclusive look at new developments in the most exciting areas of cutting edge interdisciplinary research.
