About the Event

This event will showcase innovative carbon-themed research aimed at promoting a more sustainable future.

The event welcomes researchers at all career stages, particularly early- and mid-career researchers, who wish to present their work, share insights, and engage with the wider carbon research community.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

• Present their latest research
• Exchange ideas with leading carbon scientists
• Build collaborations across academia and industry
• Expand their professional network within the carbon science community

British Carbon Group Annual General Meeting

The event will also include the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the British Carbon Group (BCG), providing members with an opportunity to engage with the group’s activities and future direction.

Ubbelohde Memorial Lecture

The programme will feature the Ubbelohde Memorial Lecture, delivered by the recipient of the 2026 Ubbelohde Award, recognising outstanding contributions to the field of carbon science and technology.

Join the Carbon Research Community

This event provides an opportunity to bring together researchers working across carbon materials, carbon science, and related technologies to discuss innovations that support sustainable development and future technologies.

Call for Abstracts

Researchers are invited to submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations showcasing innovative research in carbon science and technology. In addition to oral presentations, poster submissions are warmly encouraged, and a prize will be awarded for the best poster.

We welcome contributions from early-career and mid-career researchers, as well as established scientists working in areas related to carbon materials, carbon processing, and sustainable carbon technologies.
