IfM opens its doors to welcome visitors at Showcase event
On 6th June the IfM threw open its doors to over a hundred collaborators, friends and new connections, to showcase the diversity of work that takes place here, including tours, demonstrations and short talks.
Following a welcome talk from Professor Tim Minshall (Dr John C. Taylor Professor of Innovation and Head of the IfM), who provided an overview of the IfM’s work, visitors had a chance to meet our researchers and students, and to find out about undergraduate projects, current PhD research, and advanced programmes that demonstrate high-level impact across industry and government.
MET Design Show student projects were on display in the Common Room, following their formal presentations and assessment the previous day. There were Pecha Kucha talks from PhD students, digital manufacturing demos, and a tour of the photonics lab.
