This in-person conference will bring together the Foundation Industries community to discuss the latest innovations and developments. There will be many chances to network throughout the event, as well as poster sessions, Q+A and a conference dinner.
‘Here to Hope 2024’, is an annual gathering of enthusiasts for industrial sustainability. The programme is structured around the need for Industrial Transformation to happen at scale and speed with an extra focus on Regenerative Manufacturing. The agenda is flexible and will also offer opportunities to meet your needs. This is a programme about the future and sprinting into it with purpose for what the planet needs most. We want you to think about your impact, your careers and your PhDs within this context and make the most of this time set aside for conversations and exploration. Part of the time will be spent tackling specific issues to allow our thinking to move to reality (we will be leading sessions on Regenerative Manufacturing for example), and some of the time will be spent discussing how we cope as individuals. NOTE: Standard Registration is not free of charge. When you register, you [...]
The TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition brings together more than 4,000 engineers, scientists, business leaders, and other professionals in the minerals, metals, and materials fields for a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary exchange of technical knowledge.
Blue Skies, Greener Future: A Global Renaissance of Metallurgy: The Birth of Metallurgy 2.0 Speaker: Professor Zhongyun Fan Metals are the backbone of global manufacturing and the fuel for economic growth. However, extraction and processing of metals are highly energy intensive and cause severe environmental damage: metal extraction accounts for 12% of global primary energy demand and 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The global grand challenge is to decouple economic growth from environmental damage. The worldwide sustainability crisis has led to a complete rethink of how we source, formulate and deploy metallic materials in the future, triggering a global renaissance of metallurgy and giving birth to Metallurgy 2.0. In this context, we have developed a vision for full metal circulation (FMC), under which the global demand for metallic materials will be met by a full circulation of secondary metals without the need for either mining or metal extraction.

To celebrate 10 years of Materials Research Exchange (MRE), we are ushering in a ground-breaking transformation for 2024 by introducing four exciting flagship events all in one spectacular experience! This unique event is your gateway to the world of materials innovation, featuring an exhibition, investor showcase, and cross-cutting seminars on technology transfer from the UK’s world-class research base. What’s on Prepare to be amazed as MRE 2024 delves into a diverse range of materials, from nanotechnology to biomaterials, textiles, polymers, metals, glass, and more. These materials are not just theoretical concepts but critical building blocks for real-world applications, including energy, construction, packaging, marine, automotive, and low carbon technologies. MRE is a catalyst for progress. Through cross-cutting presentations, thought-provoking panel discussions, and an investor showcase brimming with potential, MRE fosters an environment of knowledge-sharing and cross-sector interactions. MRE is where the UK’s research and innovation excellence in materials meets the world [...]
