The Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy (MSM) in Cambridge is home to a Joint Research Centre between the Universities of Cambridge, and the Advanced Institute for Materials Research (AIMR) at Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan.
In the week of 24-28 August 2020, we will be hosting a Joint Online Workshop, bringing together researchers from MSM and AIMR for a series of seminars.
Workshop Format
Sessions will take place from 0900-1100 (BST) / 1700-1900 (JST) each day. Talks will be held entirely online using Zoom.
