The Materials Chemistry Community is proud to bring together outstanding PhD students, post-doctoral researchers, and early-career scientists working in industry for the seventh Materials chemistry poster symposium. The Materials chemistry poster symposium is the flagship event for the Materials Chemistry Community that is aimed specifically at early career scientists in materials chemistry.
The symposium provides a fantastic opportunity to:
- Develop key skills vital for your future career.
- Network with peers and senior researchers in academia and industry.
- Benefit from careers advice; get the advice and insight to inform and support your future.
- Get recognised and gain visibility within the scientific community by showcasing your work.

This is a rare opportunity to gain this experience in an event dedicated to you, as an early career scientist working in the field of materials chemistry.
On the day, our judges will recognise the two best posters, who will win free registration to the 18th International conference on materials chemistry (MC18) in 2027 and one runner up will win a £200 gift voucher for an RSC book. Delegates will also choose their favourite poster which will also win a prize of a £200 gift voucher for an RSC book.
The Materials chemistry poster symposium is free to attend for successful applicants, who will also receive support for their travel.
