Teachers' Workshop: A workshop on Materials and Climate Change for schoolteachers will be held on Thursday 18 November 2010. More details...
London Summer School in Theoretical Materials Science: the first school for second- and third-year undergraduates studying any discipline within the physical sciences and engineering and interested in the theory and simulation of materials was funded and hosted by the DTC at Imperial, 5-7 July 2010, on the theme of diffusion. For more information see the flyer and programme. A second school will be run next summer.
