ABOUT THIS EVENT
Industry members now have flexible collaboration access routes to STFC facilities, including DLS and ISIS Neutron and Muon Source. In addition to iCAST’s Joint Industry Projects (JIPs), facilitated through collaboration with iCAST partners (Bath, Oxford, National Composites Centre, and Centre for Process Innovation), these access routes provide access to cutting-edge research facilities and technical support from STFC.
Expected outcomes:
- Encourage a cross-disciplinary approach to address challenges in discovering novel materials.
- Identify potential collaboration opportunities and establish a platform for follow-up discussions to develop potential beamtime proposals in collaboration with iCAST.

Ellie Purvis, Research Scientist at start-up company Tensei Ltd, shares her insights on how Tensei’s collaboration with STFC has been instrumental in shaping its R&D activities:
 “Our collaboration with ISIS Neutron and Muon Source on the analysis of sustainable papers and adhesives from agri-residues, has given us a unique insight into our materials that will be very beneficial in their further development. A combination of comprehensive training on the equipment and the support of an experienced and helpful team led to some great results from our visit.”Â
