Many fields of technology are contributing to Britain’s sporting goals, but one of them deserves special prominence. The 2012 London Olympics and Paralympics will be remembered as the Games that brought materials science to new levels of innovation and enterprise.

There are two distinct but complementary foundations of this claim, and they form the twin themes of the 2012 Materials Congress. The first is the role of materials technology in sporting performance. The second is its contribution to sustainability, manifest in the legacy assets of London 2012 as well as the remarkable project that has built the infrastructure.

The two themes run in succession over four days, and will feature keynote lectures as well as invited lectures by the specialists who spearhead Britain’s greatest ever sporting enterprise. There will also be a poster exhibition giving everyone active in the field of sporting materials an opportunity to present their work.
