Abstract

This meeting is intended to be multidisciplinary, and designed to bring together outstanding academics in an environment which encourages informal networking and discussion. The objective is to build on and strengthen scientific ties between Brazil and the UK, and to provide opportunities for peer-on-peer scientific discussion on areas of scientific strength and where further collaboration might be possible.The meeting will be broadly divided into two parallel streams: Quantum and photonic materials and Food security and biotechnology in agriculture. Each stream will have a programme of live talks followed by discussion sessions with speakers. There will also be the opportunity for plenary talks, panel discussions and networking with attendees from both streams present. (AU)
