Discover Materials Ambassador Conference 2024

For our third Discover Materials Ambassador conference we headed to Imperial College London.

The Discover Materials Ambassador (DMA) conference is our annual in person meet up for our ambassadors and members of the working group and this year was hosted by Eleonora D’Elia at the Royal School of Mines (Imperial College London).

Attendees came from seven of our partner universities to network and to hear a fantastic talk by Jess Wade on her remarkable outreach career by championing underrepresented sectors of the the scientific community and how she has managed to combine this with her research.   Ilija Rasovic also led a session in which we all split into groups to make videos that we will unleash on our social media channels once a few tweaks have been made.

Finally we announced the winners of  Discover Materials Engagement Awards for DMAs who the working group felt deserved recognition for their work for Discover Materials during 2023 (huge congratulations to Una, Carl and Tess).
