Welcome

Every December, the Coleman group in Trinity College Dublin hosts an invitation-only, half-day conference on 2D and related materials. This conference covers the physics, chemistry, and material science of nanomaterials with a special emphasis on 2D materials. Although there is a slight focus on solution-processing of 2D materials, we welcome presentations on all types of nanomaterials including those grown by CVD or other synthesis methods. The conference topics will cover all aspects of nanomaterials, including synthesis, characterisation, processing, applications, as well as theory and modelling. While we welcome professors and principal investigators to attend, this conference will be made up of short research talks given by PhD students and postdocs only. These presentations will be followed by a conference dinner in a restaurant in Dublin.

Registration and Payment

Please register for the conference by providing your details in the registration form below:

This year we will be charging a conference fee of €130 per person. This fee is necessary to cover the cost of organisation, including the cost of coffee breaks and the full cost of the conference dinner.

For TCD students and staff, payment can be organised by emailing Karl Gogan, gogank@tcd.ie.

Payment information for external attendees will be posted here in due course.
