About this event
Earlier in 2024, it was confirmed that AUB had secured a £1.6 million grant from Research England to create a new Research Centre: Plastic Innovation and Curation. The centre will explore how plastics degrade over time or behave in different environments, resulting in research that'll have international relevance to both museum collections and modern manufacturing.
This exciting evening will officially launch the new lab at the PlastIC Research Centre, as well as its website, an online hub for sharing updates about research projects with the Heritage sector, Industry materials projects and for our materials testing consultancy work.
Light refreshments will be provided, and at 17.30, there’ll be a launch speech.
