The Thomas Young Centre organises many different kinds of scientific events on the theory and simulation of materials, including Highlight Seminars, Soirees and Workshops...
Soirees: Lively and social events with two speakers on complementary topics giving short talks and prompting discussion with the audience.
Workshops: In depth events, tackling subjects or techniques in more depth. Often used for training purposes and often featuring world-leading specialists.
Local: Events held at a TYC campus for local members, for example, TYC@UCL lunchtime get-togethers feature short talks from students and acadmics at UCL, and a chance to catch up with colleagues over lunch.
Highlight Seminar by Professor Peter Littlewood (Associate Laboratory Director for Physical Sciences and Engineering, Argonne National Laboratory and Professor of Physics, University of Chicago)
TYC@UCL Lunchtime Get-Togethers are a great opportunity to get to meet other students and researchers, catch up with your friends and colleagues, and listen to members and visitors talk about their research
