Bragg Exchange 2027 opens for registration

The materials research community at Leeds and beyond is invited to join us for Bragg Exchange 2027, a two-day conference showcasing research, ideas, and innovation.

The free event will take place from 10am to 5pm on Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 January 2027 at the Esther Simpson Building.

The Bragg Exchange offers researchers an opportunity to engage with work across materials science, discuss shared interests, and connect with colleagues from different disciplines.

The programme will include presentations from guest speakers, three poster sessions and a series of two-minute flash talks. A panel discussion will also explore the commercialisation of materials research and how discoveries can be developed towards practical use.

Presentations will align with the six Opportunity Themes in the National Materials Innovation Strategy. These themes consider how advanced materials can contribute to areas ranging from healthcare and clean energy to future communications, computing and more sustainable products.

Researchers attending the Exchange can apply to present their work during the poster sessions. They can also register their interest in delivering a two-minute flash talk in the main lecture theatre when booking their place.

Bragg Exchange is organised by the Bragg Centre for Materials Research, which brings together expertise from across the University to support interdisciplinary materials research and collaboration. Its community works across subjects including advanced manufacturing, future computing, health and sustainable materials design.

Places can now be booked through the Bragg Exchange 2027 registration page. Researchers wishing to present a poster or express an interest in giving a flash talk can do so as part of the booking process.
