Event to design materials of the future
Edinburgh students and staff from art and humanities to science and business will meet next month to take part in the first Hackathon focused on "Designing materials for a safer, smarter future”.
LAUNCH.ed, the enterprise start-up programme at Edinburgh Research & Innovation (ERI), the University’s commercialisation and industry engagement arm, are joining forces with ENGIE and the University’s Edinburgh Complex Fluids Partnership (ECFP) to deliver this exciting bootcamp event.
ENGIE, a global facilities management and energy operator, and ECFP, which works with commercial partners to solve challenges and develop innovative applications by drawing on expertise in 'soft-materials' at the University, are looking for and working with innovative materials to develop technology.
Participating staff and students will get the chance to develop an idea and pitch it to a panel of industry professionals from ENGIE, as well as meeting other staff and students from different areas of the University and build relationships.
One-day event
We’re looking for innovative and creative thinkers who want to ‘hack’ the theme for a day!
The one-day event takes place on Tuesday 21 February at the James Clark Maxwell Building on the King’s Buildings campus, starting at 9am.
