The Cambridge heat of the 2019 IOM3 Young Persons Lecture Competition (YPLC) will take place on the evening of Tuesday 5th March. This is an event which aims to judge the presentation skills of young Materials Scientists and their ability to communicate with a generalist audience a Materials-related topic of their choice. 

We plan to hold this in two parts due to the number competitors. The presentations to be given by undergraduates will start at around 4pm. There will be a break with refreshments at around 6pm. The postgraduate lectures will begin at around 6.30pm with a further break while judging takes place at around 8.15pm. 

It would be really wonderful to have some support for our competitors - not just from their research supervisors and groups, but from anyone interested to hear an excellent set of talks. You are welcome to come along to one part or both parts, depending on your availability.
