Keele Meetings
The first Keele Meeting on Aluminium was called in the winter of 1995 to try to establish the nature of the research effort in aluminium in the UK. More than a dozen different UK groups that were active in Al research attended the meeting along with a number of non-UK representatives. At this first gathering a decision was made to make the meeting a biennial event and to extend it to groups from across the globe.
The background to all subsequent meetings has been to try to have an open meeting at which discussion of new, unpublished research, was at the forefront. It was decided not to invite participation but to allow delegates to decide the subject matter of the meetings. The meeting programme was arranged to encourage as much active participation as possible with both Platform and Poster contributions being given the opportunity of speaking at the meeting.
The untimely death of Professor JD Birchall FRS in the autumn of 1995 resulted in the inauguration of a lecture in his name, JD Birchall Memorial Lecture. This is an invited lecture given by an experienced researcher in the field and is traditionally used to close the meeting.
Novel research presented at the Keele meetings may be submitted to a Keele Issue of the Journal for Inorganic Biochemistry. This is not a conference proceedings. All submissions are rigourously reviewed and edited. These issues can be accessed using the following links:
