CPD Conferences

Our key objective is to present a symposium of the highest standard, attracting younger research workers and engineers as well as long standing tribologists, and industrial financial support to help us achieve this is gratefully appreciated. We would be pleased to acknowledge sponsorship at the Symposium.

All costs are inclusive of VAT.

The 54th Annual Conference of the British Association for Crystal Growth (BACG 2025) will be held at University of Leeds on Tuesday 1 – Thursday 3 July 2025.

Since its establishment in 1969 the BACG has fostered scientific and technological exchanges on both national and international levels; covering theory, practice, and evaluation of crystal growth and crystallisation.

The BACG annual conference provides a platform for scientists and engineers from academia/industry working in the field of crystallisation to explore their latest advancements, innovations and exchange ideas.

Fees are VAT Exempt.

The 54th Annual Conference of the British Association for Crystal Growth (BACG 2025) will be held at University of Leeds on Tuesday 1 – Thursday 3 July 2025.

Sponsoring and exhibiting at BACG 2025 will allow your company to meet potential business partners, generate new ideas, gather new knowledge, foster collaborations and meet a very defined professional community of scientists/engineers and academics working in crystallization.

MIUA 2025 is the principal UK forum for communicating research progress within the community interested in image analysis applied to medicine and related biological science. The meeting has been designed for the dissemination and discussion of research in medical image understanding and analysis and aimed to encourage the growth and raise the profile of this multi-disciplinary field by bringing together the various communities.

The 3rd International Workshop on Calcium Sulfoaluminate Cements (CSA 2025) will be held on Monday 23 – Wednesday 25 June 2025 at the University of Leeds, UK.

Calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) based cements are receiving increasing interest as (i) an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional cement and (ii) as they can be used to formulate mortars and concretes with special properties such as fast set, high early strength, shrinkage-compensation, waste solidification, and ion immobilisation.

This workshop will bring together researchers working on several aspects of CSA cements with the different stakeholders working with CSA-based concretes in the industry. Gathering experts from all around the world will stimulate scientific discussions and can promote national and international collaboration. We aim at exchanging state-of-the-art knowledge on several topics including: 

• Raw materials and clinkering
• Hydration mechanisms, admixtures, and fresh concrete
• Characterisation
• Durability and practice
• Applications: structural and immobilisation
• Nomenclature, standards, and protocols

The 3rd International Workshop on Calcium Sulfoaluminate Cements (CSA 2025) will be held on Monday 23 – Wednesday 25 June 2025 at the University of Leeds, UK.

Following the success of the 1st and 2nd International Workshops on Calcium Sulfoaluminate Cements at Murten, Switzerland (2018) and Rome, Italy (2023), we would like to extend our sincere thanks to the previous organisers for their invaluable contributions.

The 50th Leeds-Lyon Symposium on Tribology invites all the researchers to share their latest work in a stimulating, engaging and dynamic environment. We aim to capture the exciting original research in all areas of tribology, with a special focus on tribology challenges relevant to technologies that will define the next fifty years. Offerings of original research are requested in (but not limited to) the following areas:

• Tribochemistry and green lubricants
• Tribology of materials used in new transport technologies such as electric vehicles and hydrogen engines
• Surface engineering, coatings and tribology in extreme environments
• Tribology of soft materials
•  Biotribology
• Tribology-driven contact and interface processes
• Surface morphology, multiscale and fractal surfaces
• Machining, wear, fatigue and fretting
• Machine learning research tools in tribology
• Tribology of composites, coatings and novel materials
• Advanced measurement and simulation methods
