The conference brought together researchers, academic staff, and the industrial community to experience the breadth of research activities across our Engineering Schools.
Representatives from the Research and Innovation Support Team (RIO), the Loughborough Materials Characterisation Centre (LMCC), the Doctoral College (DC), and the Women's Engineering Society () attended to discuss current and future collaborations. We were also pleased to welcome four keynote speakers, Dr Katy Milne (MTC), Dr Jennifer Longyear (AkzoNobel), Dr James Stevens (Johnson Matthey) and Prof Lisa-Dionne Morris (University of Leeds).
To conclude the event an award ceremony was held to celebrate the outstanding achievements of both schools. Congratulations to the winners of the Engineering Schools' Doctoral Researcher Conference.
