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

我们请求支持，以继续和发展成功的EPSRC/液体和复杂液体小组‘冬季学校’。该学院加强了对日益重要的液体和复杂流体领域的研究生的培训，这是一个涵盖广泛的科学和技术问题的多学科领域，涉及具有重要学术和工业意义的液体和相关物质状态-从涂料乳剂到食品凝胶，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。。这门学科的广度意味着，本科生或研究生的授课课程不能充分涵盖这一点。冬季学校能够弥补这一不足，并为英国国内的未来发展提供一个平台。该学院还补充了现有的新一代设施、学生名额和新博士培训中心的提供。来自英国各地的30名来自广泛跨学科背景的研究生将申请最多的资金，以参加该学院的三年滚动课程。

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.
