The continuing coronavirus pandemic has driven the necessity for the conference to remain entirely online for 2020 and 2021. As much as NSIRC values the face-to-face, personal and unique integrations and conversations that can only be generated in person, it is for the safety of students, staff, as well as society in general, that keeping the conference online, was and is the the only decision.

What you can expect in 2021...

• Presentations from over 40 industry-led PhD students
• Subjects and technologies including additive manufacturing, joining technologies, inspection and monitoring, composites and polymers, materials, structural integrity, standards, maintenance methodologies and more
• Keynote presentations from influential figures from the UK industry and innovation landscape
