This two-day event brought together grant holders, academia, industry and members of the public, and was a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the work and impact of the Lloyd’s Register Foundation. The event featured keynote speakers, presentations and early career ‘master classes’ spanning all areas of Foundation grants funding, and showcased the excellent work done by grant holders covering four strategic themes - promoting safety and public understanding, advancement of skills and education, supporting excellent scientific research and accelerating the application of research.
