Registration Closed

This event is no longer available for registration.

Synopsis

This event, follows on from the success of the group’s inaugural event held in 2017. It will consist of two keynote talks from leaders in the field of functional surfaces as well as talks from early career researchers. This event will be an opportunity for early career researchers to learn about all the fantastic research being done in the field as well as giving them a chance to network and develop professional skills in a relaxed atmosphere.
