Synopsis

Surface analytical techniques are often limited in the information that they provide. By combining information from more than one technique, or different modes of the same technique, new information can be synthesized. The theme of this meeting concentrates on recent advances in the areas of correlative and multi-technique analysis.

Our hosts for the meeting are the Department of Materials, University of Oxford Begbroke Science Park. Begbroke Science Park has established itself as a unique environment 'where industry and science meet' providing industry with research and development, education and training and technology transfer, plus out-reach services in the nanotechnology, aerospace, environmental, automotive and materials sectors. Laboratory research at Begbroke dates back to 1960, when Begbroke Hill Farm was acquired by the Ministry of Agriculture and became the headquarters of the Weed Research Organisation. In the 1980s, the Cookson group bought the site to house its Technology Centre. This remained an important materials research laboratory until 1998 when it was bought by Oxford University. The talks will be in the Jacobean farmhouse, dating from around 1625, which has been sensitively restored and now houses some of the Science Park's offices and conference facilities with the exhibition and lunch in one of the new buildings on site and home to the Institute for Advanced Technology.
