Join the Elastomer Group Networking Event — a melting pot of innovation and expertise. The aim of our event is to connect industry and academia to solve current challenges that rubber industry are facing now. We strongly encourage those who want to immerse themselves in cutting-edge elastomer advancements and connect with the industry leaders to join us.
This F2F networking event will feature 15-20 talks of 5 minutes each from representatives in academia and industry. We aim to address the needs and solutions in the world of Elastomers. We will then conclude the event with a drinks reception, providing our delegates with the all important networking opportunities.
Confirmed participation from University of Oxford, Swansea University, Queen Mary University of London, Nottingham University, University of Lincoln, Queen's University Belfast, University of Glasgow, Warwick University, Sheffield University
