8th Annual Conference of the EPSRC CDT in Advanced Composites for Innovation and Science

The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Advanced Composites for Innovation and Science (ACCIS CDT) was established in 2009 following a £7.1 million award from the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The CDT was renewed in 2014 with £4.9 million of funding, securing its future until 2022.The CDT is embedded within the Bristol Composites Institute (ACCIS), a leading research centre for composites research and education with a global reputation for excellence.The CDT’s vision is to develop the next generation of technical leaders in advanced composites by stimulating adventurous interdisciplinary research, which bridges the length scales, connects to and interfaces between the disciplines of engineering, chemistry, physics and life sciences, and bestows enhanced and added functionality to composite materials. The CDT’s four-year multidisciplinary PhD programme in Advanced Composites comprises a one-year innovative taught component and a three-year research project, and is underpinned by a programme of skills training and professional development.The CDT benefits from strong industrial partnerships with companies across a range of industrial sectors, such as aerospace, automotive, marine, energy generation, civil infrastructure and biomedicine. The CDT also collaborates with other academic institutions and research centres locally, nationally and internationally.Find out more about our students and our research via ourwebsite.You can also join us onLinked In

The 8th Annual Conference of the <A HREF="http://www.bristol.ac.uk/composites/cdt/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">CDT in Advanced Composites for Innovation and Science (ACCIS CDT)</A> will take place on the morning of Tuesday 16th April 2019, in the Bill Brown Design Suite, Queen's Building, University of Bristol.
Our students are all set to put on another impressive showcase of their high quality and diverse composites research through a series of fascinating presentations and research posters.
The conference will start at 9 a.m. with refreshments to accompany a dedicated poster session. Our students will be standing by their posters during this time ready to greet you, to discuss their findings, and answer any questions you may have about their work.
Formal conference proceedings will then commence at 10 a.m. with an update on the CDT's activities by Professor Paul Weaver (CDT Director). Our CDT students will then deliver short oral presentations about their research; these represent the diverse <A HREF="http://www.bristol.ac.uk/composites/research/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">research themes</A> of the <A HREF="http://www.bristol.ac.uk/composites/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bristol Composites Institute (ACCIS)</A>. We trust that you will be impressed, not only by the quality of the students’ work, but also by the maturity and enthusiasm with which they present their own work.
A networking lunch will follow at 12.30 p.m., and this offers a further chance to view the students’ posters, and cast your vote in our poster competition.
