Workshops 2012 - Tuesday 19th June 2012
Micro and Nanofabrication for Energy Harvesting Applications Workshop (click here for pdf copy)
The aim of this workshop is to inform and network the UK process and tool community with the applications and research base, and engage them in commercially-relevant energy harvesting innovation and activities.
Outcomes:
1. Inform community of the current commercial status of Energy Harvesting in the UK, and the global context
2. Inform community of the work under the EH "Manufacturing challenges" project and the key messages
3. Collection and dissemination of the community response to these messages, especially to funding and R&D strategy bodies (EPSRC, TSB,VC's, end user industry bodies) and maybe to the press
4. Provide structured networking opportunities for B2B and academics2B
5. Take away clear message of the value of this activity and event to the community, and what activities should be next under KTN/JEMI auspices

‘Emerging Trends in Group 4 and 3-5 Compound Materials’ click here for pdf copy)
Anyone interested in learning more about technological advances and future opportunities in the rapidly emerging fields of advanced group 4 and compound materials should attend the 3/5 and 4 workshop on 19th June at S2K 2012 in Southampton.
The emergence of new materials such as graphene and the growing acceptance of compound semiconductor materials in mainstream applications heralds the dawn of exciting developments in the fields of data storage, lighting, energy conservation, transport and many other critical areas of world economic and human progress.
The program will cover many areas of leading edge discovery in these exciting new materials as well as emerging applications for established materials.
