Overcoming Challenges in Research

Welcome to the Materials@UC 2020 conference!

Research is always a challenge: whether you are dealing with experiments, simulations, people, funding, or even your own health and wellbeing, nothing is ever straightforward. Add to that the massive curveball that is the COVID-19 pandemic, and suddenly 2020 has become one of the most challenging years any of us will have had to deal with.

Materials@UC 2020: Overcoming Challenges gives you the chance to not only share your research and make new connections, but also to share the challenges you have faced over the past year, and over your research journey. Whether you are still working out how to deal with some of the problems you are facing, or you are a seasoned battler who takes it all in their stride, this year's conference gives you the opportunity to pass on your wisdom and to learn new tricks.

Most important of all, it gives us the chance to see that we are not alone in the challenges we face.

Thanks to our generous sponsors, there is no cost to attend and present at Materials@UC 2020.
