At present, the Network is being led by Prof Alastair Hibbins (University of Exeter) and Dr Claire Dancer (Warwick Manufacturing Group, University of Warwick) as academic investigators alongside a multi-institutional leadership team.
The Network activities are steered by a leadership team consisting of the respective award leads and representatives from academia and industry who lead on the Special Interest Groups (SIGs), Forums and Challenge Areas.
The SIGs are dedicated to foster relationships around dedicated scientific areas within and across academia, industry, governmental agencies etc, while the Forums provide a platform for cross-SIG interactions for activities targeted at Outreach, Industry push & pull, and Horizon Scanning (disruptive concepts; blue skies research). The Challenge Areas are devoted to investigating the potential of metamaterials to provide practical application to societal challenges with global impact.
