We are delighted to annouce the upcoming Recent Appointees in Materials Science (RAMS) 2015 conference which will take place at the University of Warwick over 2 days (16-17th September) and is the only National conference specifically aimed at new Academic appointees (Lecturers, Research Fellows and Postdocs) in Materials Science.
The RAMS 2015 conference will include symposia with plenary and contributed oral presentations and a poster session covering a broad range of subjects in Materials Science, networking opportunities as well as panel discussions to encourage collaboration, stimulate discussions and provide an open forum for advice. Please visit the conference website for more information on the conference programme, confirmed invited speakers and venue: http://rams2015.org/
The conference will incorporate Plenary lectures from leading UK materials scientists, Prof. Aron Walsh and Prof. Mary Ryan. Sessions on essential training and development and information on funding opportunities will be delivered through panel discussions led by successful Academics and representatives from funding bodies. RAMS is targeted towards Academics at the start of their career and aims to help recent appointees to build their national collaborative networks, exchange experiences and benefit from peer support.
We encourage Early Career Academics to submit an abstract for a contributed oral presentation or poster through our online system. Abstracts will be competitively assessed. Deadline for abstract submission: 30th June

A limited number of bursaries are available for those with limited travel budgets and will be assessed on an individual basis. This conference has been made possible through generous support from the Royal Society of Chemistry Materials Chemistry Division, Royal Society of Chemistry Journals, Institute of Physics Publishing and Materials and Characterisation Group, Royal Microscopic Society and the University of Warwick Materials Global Research Priority, Warwick Manufacturing Group and Institute of Advanced Study, University of Warwick. The conference has been organised by: Dr Claire Dancer (Warwick Manufacturing Group), Dr Gemma-Louise Davies (Department of Chemistry) and Dr John Murphy (School of Engineering), University of Warwick, UK.
