Open lecture by Prof. Bin Yang who is visiting Aalto University from Washington State University's Department of Biological Systems Engineering and the Bioproduct, Sciences & Engineering Laboratory. -
Alumni Day at the School of Chemical Engineering, 26.10.2019
In preparation for the event, we helped recruit young researchers to host various demonstrations of research projects, as well as some practical support. -
November Networking - ALD at Aalto University, 29.11.2019
At the event, we provided a time and place where people with interest in ALD can meet and get better networked. All research groups working at Aalto with some connection to ALD were invited to introduce themselves in short presentations – what are the group’s capabilities, interesting recent results, and maybe challenges, too? Groups working with ALD outside Aalto University were likewise welcome to introduce themselves.

2017
Events supported by Materials Platform in 2017:
The Materials Platform was launched in May 2017, identifying the mission, vision, and key activities the Platform would pursue into the future. Aimed at boosting scientific and educational excellence and creativity, the Platform organized activities for collaborative exchange of ideas and efforts, integrating multi- and cross-disciplinary initiatives.
Two events included the Idea Summit on Smart Textiles, and a lunchtime event, EIT Opportunities for Materials research and teaching, 06.10.2017.
In addition, photography became a key service and training focus for the Platform. Two photo shoot days of materials research samples (10.08.2017 and 18.09.2017), as well as a demo workshop for materials projects (10.10.2017) were organized and hosted by the Materials Platform. Finally, Prof. Robin Ras initiated a photography workshop series, led by renowned photography teacher , followed by an exhibition of researcher's own photographs, 'Materials Science meets Photography' show (08.12.2017-26.01.2018).
