We are pleased to announce an impressive line up of academics, researchers and PhD students from the Bristol Composites Institute (BCI) who will be presenting their latest work at ECCM 20 (the 20th European Conference on Composite Materials) in Lausanne, Switzerland from 26th to 30th June 2022.
This year’s conference is on the theme of “Composites meet Sustainability” and we will highlight our commitment toward sustainability across a range of activities spanning academic research, industrial collaborations and education programmes.
Our Industrial Doctorate Centre (IDC) in Composites Manufacture is also hosting a special session! The IDC aims to provide the UK composites manufacturing industry with Research Engineers equipped with the necessary advanced technical and leadership skills required for effective adoption of new knowledge and technologies in composites manufacture. For more details and informal discussion please contact Professor Janice Barton (janice.barton@bristol.ac.uk) at booth #6 during the conference. Details of speakers at the session can be found here.
