The Graham Lecture is awarded, biennially, to a scientist working in the UK who is in the prime of their research career, has established an international reputation in colloid science, and has already made distinguished contributions to the field of colloid science. In addition to hearing great presentations and the opportunity to contribute a poster, there is plenty scope for networking. The 2025 awardee is Dr Alex Routh from the University of Cambridge.
The symposium for 2025 will feature a range of speakers from industry and academia, highlighting colloidal research on industrial processes and procedures.
This event will be of interest to academics, students and industrialists working in the fields of physical chemistry, colloid and interface science.
