Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Next generation applications including energy generation and storage systems, medical devices, functional lightweight composites, autonomous vehicles, packaging, and multi- functional materials such as conducting glasses, fibres, and smart polymers critically depend on the design and controlled, sustainable manufacturing of materials. Input from across different departments will be essential to create real innovation in these areas.
Advanced computational methods have reached a stage that allows the rapid theoretical design of new materials and accurate prediction of their physical properties, thereby allowing experimental synthesis and characterisation to be focused on the most promising sub-set of materials.
The Network for Advanced Materials takes an interdisciplinary approach to tackling materials challenges by designing materials across the length scale with end-user applications in mind whereby high-speed computing, rational modelling, experimentalists and participating industry partners mutually inform each other.
The combination of fundamental concepts, new designs, applied science, and classical research and development plays a pivotal role in attracting industry partners to the Oxford Advanced Materials Network. Core to the network is our systems approach and the regular exchange with policymakers and society.
