Bristol Composites Institute Postgraduate Research and Training Showcase
Online
The annual CDT Conference is now a well-established event in the calendar, attracting external interest from both industry and academia, and offering great experience to the researchers in each cohort.
This year, the third CDT in Composites Science, Engineering, and Manufacture invited doctoral researchers from across the Faculty of Engineering to take part in the event to showcase the breadth of composites research being undertaken within the Bristol Composites Institute.
