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 Mary Ryan, Vice Provost for Research and Enterprise and the Armourers and Brasiers' Chair for Materials Science, Imperial College London. 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.
