Annual HW-IMRC Conference
As part of the process of communicating
our research to the community, providing a forum for our
industrial partners and showcaseing some of our work to
potential new industrial collaborators, the HW-IMRC has
organised and hosted a focused 1-Day Research Conference
at Heriot Watt each year since 2005.
On each occasion, the Conference Programme has included
a combination of Keynote Presentations from leading international
experts on topics linked to one or other of our Themes
with shorter papers given by members of the IMRC on topics
where significant advances have been made.
The ‘flavour’ of our Conferences can be inferred
from the following list of invited speakers for the 2005-2010
