Advisory board

The Advisory Board (AB) of the UK Metamaterials Network consists of national and international representative from academia, governmental agencies and industry with a diverse set of knowledge and expertise. The role of the AB is to provide advice on strategic direction and activities for the EPSRC UK Metamaterials Network.

This will include:

The AB members are expected to meet 3-4 times per calendar year.

The meeting discussions are non-confidential unless stated otherwise, i.e. contents can be shared outside of the meetings if deemed beneficial to the metamaterials community.

If confidentiality is required on a specific item to enable an open discussion, any documentation or other information provided on the matter and the subsequent discussion itself will be treated as confidential by all AB and network leadership team members, unless the confidentiality requesting party agreed to sharing the content.
