Advanced Materials Symposium
Bringing together researchers across flow chemistry, soft matter, rheology, complex fluids, fluid dynamics and manufacturing to discuss the future of advanced materials manufacturing.
From discovery to additive manufacturing
When: 7-8th September 2026
Where: Materials Innovation Factory, University of Liverpool
Registration and poster submission will be open soon and will be available here.
This two-day symposium, centred on the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship project "Smart formulations for manufacturing of functional three-dimensional hierarchical structures," brings together researchers across flow chemistry, soft matter, rheology, complex fluids, fluid dynamics, functional materials, and manufacturing. The event aims to foster collaborations across these diverse fields and research networks interconnected by this fellowship, specifically focusing on materials chemistry, formulation, and 3D printing toward health and energy applications.
The program features a diverse lineup of speakers delivering lectures structured as tutorials or masterclasses. These sessions are intended to provide in-depth insights into the science underpinning advanced materials processing, from discovery to manufacturing.
Attendees are invited to participate in didactic lectures and a dedicated poster session within an interdisciplinary environment designed for networking between world-leading experts and emerging researchers. Please note that delegate spaces are limited.
Funding and Support
This event is funded by the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, the Materials Innovation Factory, and the School of Engineering at the University of Liverpool, and is sponsored by Anton Paar.
