The Armourers and Brasiers' Cambridge Forum is an annual event for the materials science community, incorporating talks, poster sessions, networking opportunities, and the chance to hear from early-career researchers. It aims to raise the profile of materials science in the UK's academic and industrial communities, while being international in scope. The Forum attracts high-level involvement from industry, research councils and other influential bodies. It incorporates the Kelly Lecture, which this year will be delivered by Professor Mark Ediger from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. The Forum is generously supported by the Armourers and Brasiers' Livery Company, AWE, Henry Royce Institute, Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining, The Materials Processing Institute, Rolls-Royce, and Paragraf.
