Continuation of Successful Winter School for Postgraduates in Liquids and Complex Fluids

我们请求支持继续和发展成功的EPSRC/液体和复杂流体组'冬季学校'。这所学校加强了对液体和复杂流体日益重要的领域的研究生的培训，这是一个多学科领域，涵盖了广泛的科学和技术问题，涉及液体和具有重要学术和工业影响的相关物质状态-从涂料乳液到食品凝胶，从矿物回收泡沫到石油回收胶体以及用于显示技术和双焦点隐形眼镜的新型液晶。.该主题的广度意味着在本科或研究生水平的讲座课程中没有充分覆盖。冬季学校能够弥补这一不足，并为英国未来的发展提供平台。学校还补充了现有的新一代设施的学生和新的博士培训中心的规定。适度的资金要求来自英国各地的广泛的跨学科背景的30名研究生参加学校的三年滚动计划。

We request support to continue and develop the successful EPSRC/Liquids and Complex Fluids Group 'Winter School'. This School enhances the training of postgraduates in the increasingly important area of liquids and complex fluids, a multidisciplinary field covering the broad swathe of scientific and technological problems that involve the liquid and related states of matter with important academic and industrial implications - from paint emulsions to food gels, mineral recovery foams to oil recovery colloids and novel liquid crystals used in display technology and bifocal contact lenses. . The breadth of the subject means that is not adequately covered by lecture courses at an undergraduate or graduate level. The Winter School is able to remedy this deficiency and provide a platform for future advances within the UK. The School also complements the existing New Generation Facilities studentships and provision of the new Doctoral Training Centres.Modest funding is requested for 30 postgraduate students drawn from a wide interdisciplinary background from across the UK to attend the School on a three year rolling programme.
