29 June 2004 - High Throughput Materials Science.

High Throughput techniques are widely used in the pharmaceutical sector and have revolutionised the drug discovery process. Similar methodologies are now being developed for the synthesis of functional materials - both soft and solid state materials. This meeting aims to examine the methodologies and techniques needed for high throughput materials science and look at the problems that need to be solved before the technology becomes commonly used in industry.

Date:	29th June, 2004
Location:	Institute of Physics, 76 Portland Place, London
