The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) selected the SynFabFun Programme Grant as one of 14 exhibits at the Science for a Successful Nation event that took place on Wednesday 21 February 2018 at The Royal Society, London. The event promoted the importance of EPSRC investments, in the context of UK prosperity. The organisations and projects that participated in the exhibition provided the visual backdrop for the event, providing a snap shot of the EPSRC’s broad portfolio.
