Boot camp 2016 brought together the Centre academic partners from Newcastle, Durham, Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt and Sussex Universities.

A wide spectrum of research work was presented to help bridge the scientific and technical diversity in our collective knowledge. The day also acted as a platform to frame and agree the initial focus of the project and to ensure that our activities are both relevant and timely.

Presentations were given on the following topics:
