We are delighted to be hosting our 11th December breakfast networking event at the Henry Royce Institute’s Hub Building at the University of Manchester, between 8.30am – 10.30am.

The Henry Royce Institute is the national institute for advanced materials research. Royce was established to ensure that the UK remains at the forefront of materials research and exploitation through collaborations with industry and academia, and by providing access for the UK materials community to state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.

Royce’s mission is to support and grow world-recognised excellence in UK materials research, accelerating commercial exploitation and delivering positive economic and societal impact for the UK. The Royce Hub Building brings together office, research and collaboration spaces, with capability across the Royce Research Areas. This includes High Pressure Temperature Labs, Additive Manufacturing, Two Dimensional Materials, Biomedical Materials, Chemical Materials Design which includes the Sustainable Materials Innovation Hub. 

Our first presenters will be from Royce, giving an overview of the facilities available and research in progress.

Our second presenter will be David Jasiewicz, Patent Attorney & Associate from Appleyard Lees who will deliver a short overview of the Inside Green Innovation – Progress Report 2024 at the breakfast event.

What can patent data reveal about global progress in green innovation, and what might be achieved in years to come?

Appleyard Lees annual ‘Inside Green Innovation – Progress Report’ analyses patent filings across several areas of innovation, and their data-driven report gets behind the rhetoric, to shed light on the state of progress in the development of green technologies. David operates in a wide range of fields including large and small chemical manufacturers, universities, and start-ups. He has a particular interest in the field of novel materials, coatings, and pharmaceuticals.

Our third presenter, Area Sales Manager Jason Lenihan from Corrosion Resistant Products (CRP) will introduce Corrosion Resistant Products, detailing who they are and what they offer.

Further presenters to be confirmed.

This event is free of charge to attend and open to members and non-members of Chemicals Northwest.
