CIVIL 2024

(ICE) Accredited Law and Contract Management Live online course 2024/2025

Description

Live Online Delivery
Delegates will be together in our virtual training room and speakers will deliver their presentations live to include interactive elements. We may ask delegates to have their cameras on for some of the sessions to engage with discussion.

Please note, recordings will not be provided to delegates. Virtual attendance at each two hour online session (6.30pm – 8.30pm GMT/BST) is the delivery mode for this course.

About the course
This course is designed to improve your understanding of contracts, covering contractual conditions, their legal framework and the management procedures you need to successfully complete projects. It follows the Institution of Civil Engineers syllabus and will prepare you for the ICE Law and Contract Management examinations in June 2025.

If you’re wishing to take the exams you will be able to do so at an additional charge to be confirmed and registration and payment will be direct with the ICE. Please note any examination queries, bookings and payments (for ICE exams) should be made directly with the ICE [email protected]

The live online presentations take place on Monday evenings 6.30pm – 8.30pm GMT/BST and the course extends to the end of May with breaks at Christmas, Easter, May and the Spring Bank holidays. We also offer revision evenings for those taking the ICE exams at the end of the course.

Microencapsulation 2024

Microencapsulation 2024

Description

What will I learn?
This course covers the basic science and engineering of microencapsulation across a wide range of applications including the important stages of emulsification control, stability and release property control. While the majority of the course involves emulsions, multiple emulsions and particle coating, we also include a comprehensive description of the range of valuable characterisation tools and their applicability. The emphasis is on understanding the flow behaviour of the interaction of the various components in such complex systems. This should provide the basis for a rational approach to formulating and producing micro encapsulates to meet a range of needs.

How will I benefit?
On completion of this course you’ll have an understanding of:

  • developing a rational approach to formulate or modify emulsions for optimal processing behaviour, and using available laws and scaling relations to predict behaviour

  • the various methods of turning emulsions into encapsulates, including the process conditions that impact their final properties and behaviour

  • selecting characterisation devices and defining measurement procedures for a specific application

  • evaluating and interpreting experimental data

Fluids2024

Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluids and Dynamos Meeting 2024

Description

This short meeting will bring together international experts to discuss recent developments in the field of Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics and Dynamo theory (GAFD). It will also celebrate the 75th birthday of Professor Chris Jones, who has made many outstanding contributions to these fields. 

The meeting will be held at the University of Leeds on Thursday 12 - Friday 13 September 2024. There will be a celebratory dinner on the evening of Thursday 12th September.

The themes for the meeting include:

  • Dynamo theory
  • Planetary Dynamics
  • Astrophysical Fluids
  • Fundamental Fluid Dynamics

Fire Dynamics 2024

Fire Dynamics and Modelling 2024

Description

What will I learn?
The course will follow a structured approach starting from the general fundamental principles of combustion flammability and heat transfer, and will lead you through to the more specific study of fire spread and fire development in compartments. Open fires such as pool and jet fires will also be covered. The principles of fire protection practice and technology will be discussed within the context of understanding the fire development mechanism and the response of structures to fires. Your learning experience will be enhanced through worked examples and brief problems that you’ll be asked to attempt on your own or in groups. There will also be an opportunity for some hands-on experience with predictive PC packages.

How will I benefit?
On completion of this course, you should:

  • be able to apply general combustion and engineering principles to fires

  • know the parameters that influence flame spread and steady burning and be able to quantify the burning rate in compartment fires

  • predict the rate of development of the fire, the onset of flashover, and appreciate the application of these concepts to fire protection design

  • understand the factors influencing smoke toxicity and movement

  • be aware of the predictive tools that are available and become familiar with the application and use of such tools, through ‘hands-on’ practice

Chem4Energy2025

Chem4Energy Annual Conference 2025

Description

Chem4Energy is pleased to announce the 2025 conference on ‘Materials and Processes for a Sustainable Energy Future’. 

The Chem4Energy community has grown out of a number of collaborative UK-Africa consortium programmes and 2025 will see the fourth in this series of annual meetings, which focus in particular on:

  • Highlighting the synergy between experiment and computation
  • Offering opportunities for early career researchers to disseminate their work in oral and poster presentations - often their first conference talk!
  • Allowing plenty of opportunity for discussion of the research presentations

The Chem4Energy conferences aim to bring together local academic and industrial researchers and developers from Namibia with colleagues from Europe, the USA and further afield, to discuss the latest developments in sustainable energy materials and processes, build new collaborations, and influence and support future directions in the field of sustainable energy research.  

Although contributions in all areas within the Chem4Energy remit are welcome, core themes of the 2025 meeting include:

•    Homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis for clean energy production; 
•    CO2 capture and utilisation;
•    Materials for solar energy devices;
•    Nuclear energy;
•    Hydrogen production, storage and transport;
•    High-performance computing in energy research.
