TYC20 – Celebration of the Thomas Young Centre at 20

To mark the TYC turning 20, the TYC is hosting 2-days of talks, spanning 20 years of cutting-edge research and collaboration, and looking to the future at the next 10 years. 

A celebration of the interdisciplinary and cross-community collaboration which has taken place between UCL and the other London universities for two decades, with specific focus on shaping the next decade with a Road Mapping session. 

Inviting contributions from high profile speakers, mid and early-career contributors, covering the broad areas of Electronic Structure, AI and Machine Learning, Biomaterials, Functional Materials, engaging a wide-ranging audience both internal and external to UCL.

The core purpose of the Thomas Young Centre is to bring together members of the materials modelling community, across scales, applications and methods, as well as geographical distance. This is achieved through seminars, workshops, training courses and conferences. Knowledge Exchange (KE): the presentation of research and publications from UCL academics and their collaborators, local and international, will form the core of TYC20 celebrations. 

The inclusion of contributors at various stages of academic career is central to the TYC and to the TYC20 event. Students are a core focus and encouraged to participate in all TYC activities, from presenting posters to running their own forums, social activities, and supporting event logistics. Student contributions are enthusiastically encouraged
