CNMBT11 Symposium
Nanocarbon Composites Symposium
The Nanocarbon composites symposium dinner will be held in Trinity College. Trinity College was established in 1546 and is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. It has more members than any other college in Cambridge or Oxford, with around 700 undergraduates, 430 graduates, and over 170 Fellows. Trinity considers itself to be "a world-leading academic institution with an outstanding record of education, learning and research". Trinity has traditionally been considered the most aristocratic of the Cambridge colleges and has generally been the academic institution of choice of the Royal Family (King Edward VII, King George VI, Prince Henry of Gloucester, Prince William of Gloucester and Edinburgh and Prince Charles were all undergraduates). The Push Guide to Which University (2005) called it "arguably the grandest Cambridge college" and it has been called "the most magnificent collegiate institution in England".
Trinity has a world-renowned academic tradition, with members having won 32 Nobel Prizes (of the 87 Nobel Prizes awarded to members of Cambridge University), four Fields Medals (mathematics), one Abel Prize (mathematics) and two Templeton Prizes (religion). It had the highest proportion of students gaining Firsts in their exams of any college in 2008. Trinity has many notable alumni (it has educated six British prime ministers and several heads of other nations) - but perhaps its most distinguished is Sir Isaac Newton.
The Nanocarbon composites dinner will be celebrated in the Trinity Dining Hall adorned with stained glasses, making it a perfect place to celebrate the banquet.
