Come and learn about the ground-breaking research being conducted at the University of Wollongong’s Intelligent Polymer Research Institute (IPRI) that is shaping the next generation of smart materials for health and energy solutions to improve people's lives.

On the tour, you will hear about and see our research up close in the labs, including:

• Discovery of new materials
• Advanced fabrication including 3D printing
• Advances in energy systems
• Advances in biomedical engineering

Meet world leading scientists and engineers and take the tour led by our next generation researchers - our PhD students.

Tour run for 30 minutes between 9am and 4pm. Tour participants must be 15 years or older and be wearing flat, fully enclosed shoes to gain entry into the labs.

The Bill Wheeler Community Symposium will also be held this week on Tuesday 16 August at the Innovation Campus at 5pm that evening, with the feature presentation by Professor Jonathan Clark. Find more information and register here.

IPRI is the lead node for the ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES) and materials node of the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF). Find out more information on our website.
