IMP is organising an international workshop on a broad theme of “Materials and Interfaces for Sustainability and Net Zero”. Typical topics will include adsorption, and friction at Interfaces, nanoscale tribology, wetting, membrane materials and processes, carbon capture, and more.

There will be world leading researchers presenting in the workshop from Sweden, China and USA, as well as colleagues from our REF partner Heriot-Watt University and here in Engineering and Chemistry. So, it should be a good opportunity to exchange ideas, build networks and collaborate on potential projects.
