Annual Research Showcase 2019
Welcome to the celebration of cutting-edge research!
The Maxwell Centre programme acts as a centrepiece for industry engagement across Physical Sciences and Technology at the University of Cambridge.
The Annual Research Showcase 2019 event celebrated the breadth and quality of Cambridge research in the context of external partnerships, opportunities and collaborations. In conjunction with the event we will be also issuing the Maxwell Centre Annual Report 2018-19.

Programme of the Showcase - 12 June 2019
This all-day event (registration will open at 9am, expected finish time is 6:30pm) is once again expected to attract a mixed audience of academics, industry and funders. Registration, poster displays, networking opportunities and lab tours will take place at the Maxwell Centre. In order to accommodate a large audience, all talks will be taking place at the Pippard Lecture Theatre, Cavendish Laboratory.
The 2019 Showcase will comprise a varied programme focused on academia-industry collaborations:
Registration opens at 9:00am at the Maxwell Centre, with an opportunity to explore the Maxwell Centre, and get a tour of the laboratories (tours depart at 9:15 and 9:35).
Morning session - academic perspective (at the Pippard Lecture Theatre, 10:00-12:20):
This session will include:
- an address by the Maxwell Centre Director, Prof Sir Mark Welland
- a keynote talk by Dr Emily Shuckburgh, Director of the Cambridge Carbon Neutral Futures Initiative
- and back by popular demand: a series of 2 minutes' talks by researchers from across the Physical Science and Technology departments – showcasing a broad range of collaborative, multidisciplinary, cutting-edge research and industrial partnerships.
Networking lunch, poster session, stands, demonstrations and tours at the Maxwell Centre (12:20 - 13:20).
Afternoon session - industry perspective (at the Pippard Lecture Theatre, 13:30-16:30):
This session will include:
- highlights of new industrial partnerships with the Maxwell Centre
- industrial keynote talk by Mansoor Hanif, Chief Technology Officer, Ofcom
- a panel discussion on the challenges and opportunities of the modern day connected world
Further networking opportunities over refreshments at the Maxwell Centre will conclude the event, expected close time is 18:30.
