UKNIBC User Day 2024

Wednesday 11th December 2024

We look forward to welcoming you to the 2024 UKNIBC User Day at the University of Surrey which is home to 4 Ion implanters, 2 Single Ion Implanters, 2 Focussed Ion Beams and a bespoke Ion Beam Analysis facility.

The focus will be on presentations by our wide-ranging user community but we also warmly welcome those whose projects are ongoing and prospective users who are looking to explore the possibilities. This will be an excellent opportunity to share your research and to discover the potential offered by the UKNIBC with fellow users and the operators of the facilities within the centre.

Registration is free. We will be inviting talks directly from our user community but you are also highly encouraged to get in-touch if you wish to present. You are also very welcome to bring posters to be displayed during the lunchtime session – just let us know if you plan to do this when you register.

Please direct any enquiries related to the event to r.webb@surrey.ac.uk

The meeting will start at 09:30 for coffee with the first talk at 10:00. The meeting will close at 17:30. Lunch and coffee/tea will be provided.

All users, particularly those with pump priming and student grants are strongly encouraged to attend, or to at the least send a poster that can be shown during the breaks. We can print your poster here to make it easier – just email for more details.

Posters should be A0 Portrait to fit the boards.

Please use the button above to register your interest in the meeting and to let us know if you intend to present.
