International Workshop on Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality of Graphene and Nanotubes (MSIGN11)
University of Cambridge, Cambridge, 15 – 16 July, 2011
Venue
The MSIGN11 Satellite Symposium will be held in the Cockcroft Lecture Theatre, New Museums Site, Pembroke Street, Cambridge CB2 3QZ.
The New Museums Site is in the heart of Cambridge. Many of the greatest scientific achievements for which Cambridge is renowned took place here. For one hundred years it was the home to the renowned Cavendish Laboratory where Cockcroft and Walton, under the direction of Rutherford, split the atom, Crick and Watson discovered the structure of DNA and JJ Thomson discovered the electron. Charles Babbage, after whom the most modern lecture theatre is named, devised the earliest calculating machine here.

Lunch and poster sessions will take place in Pembroke College, which is located directly opposite the New Museums Site.
Located in the heart of Cambridge, Pembroke College is the third oldest college in the University of Cambridge. It was founded in 1347 by Mary de St Pol, daughter of Guy de Chatillon and the widow of Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke. It has approximately 70 fellows, 430 undergraduates and 190 graduate students. Pembroke was the first college to have its own chapel that became a library once Wren's Chapel came into use in 1660s. The actual college library, designed by Alfred Waterhouse in 1870s, is one of the finest in the university, with a Victorian neo-gothic clock tower, is endowed with an original copy of the first encyclopaedia to contain printed diagrams.
The entrance to Pembroke College is located on Tennis Court Road, less than 100 m distance from the New Museums Site.
