Industrial Liaison Forum November 2023

Wednesday 8 November 2023, Various Venues

The next Industrial Liaison Forum in the School of Engineering and Materials Science (SEMS) is scheduled for Wednesday 8th November 2023, here at Queen Mary University of London. This particular forum will focus on showcasing our research activities. As usual, we also hope to build new relationships and to develop further those we already have with our established partners. This November, we will be offering tours of our facilities to our guests.

The morning session will showcase the research projects of our PhD students and postdoctoral researchers through a poster session and flash presentations (find the list of presentations below). During this time you can learn about our research activities and build collaborations with our researchers. In the afternoon we will run parallel sessions. In the first of these, we invite our alumni to speak to our current students in employer led panel sessions. This activity is designed to give our students an insight into the various career paths that they might consider, and is also an opportunity for our industrial partners to present information about themselves and the different schemes their companies offer. In the other parallel session we will run tours of our facilities, led by researchers so that you can see our in-house capabilities and find ways to collaborate on R&D.

Following these panels sessions the Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) meeting will be held from 3pm-5pm, if you are currently on our IAB or are interested in joining please do come along.
