Prof Pete Skabara, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Materials Chemistry C and based at the University of Strathclyde, visited the FRG and the School of Chemistry today.
He gave an excellent lecture (preceded by talks by Geri Echue (FRG) and Huibin Qiu (Manners group) as part of the Inorganic and Materials Chemistry Section seminar series.
The year has started on a high note with a large delegation (>100) from Kyoto University visiting Bristol on the 10th and 11th of January. A number of parallel sessions are being held across campus, actively investigating opportunities for further collaboration. Charl is actively involved in the Materials Chemistry sessions.

Seven group members (Feli, Saravanan, Angel, Alex, James, Ben and Charl) are attending Elecmol ’12 in Grenoble, France (with 6 posters and 1 oral presentation!). This exciting event, co-organised by our close collaborator Dr Patrice Rannou, has been a very good way of experiencing good science (and some good food!).
The event is held at Minatec’s conference facility in Grenoble.
Prof Aono, director-general of MANA, organised an excellent half-day symposium, with speakers from the NSQI and MANA. After such a good start we look forward to active exchange of researchers between Bristol and Tsukuba!

Charl is currently on a short trip to Korea and Japan with Professors Mervyn Miles and Huaxin Peng, colleagues from the Centre for Nanoscience and Quantum Information (NSQI). He is currently in Gwangju, where he will be giving a talk at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), hosted by Prof Ji-Woong Park.

Dr Peter Walters, from the Centre for Fine Print Research at UWE, came to visit the FRG on Monday, and give a fascinating lecture on 3D printing.
Very interesting, lots of discussion, and a good way to stimulate new collaborative research projects. We look forward to lots of future contact!
Albert Schenning, from Eindhoven, visited the FRG on Monday 1st and Tuesday 2nd of October. A mini-symposium was held in conjunction with his excellent lecture, with Ben Brown from the FRG talking about his latest results.
Great to have Albert in Bristol, and we look forward to more contact in the future!
Saravanan contributed to the recent mini-symposium (Wednesday, 26th of September) held in conjunction with the visit of Dwight Seferos from Toronto, Canada. Very nice talks during the afternoon’s symposium!
Excellent symposium organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry in London. Great opportunity to meet several leading Indian and UK Professors and Colleagues.
Today was the last day of a very exciting conference in Xiamen. Great speakers (except for one of them on Saturday morning!), really nice venue (nothing like an early morning jog and swim in the sea!) and a good opportunity to meet up with old friends and colleagues!
