Consortium meeting, University of Leeds

The University of Leeds hosted the fourth Consortium Meeting, bringing together researchers from across the programme for two days of scientific exchange and discussion. The meeting opened with three invited talks on crystal symmetry, ED+I, and multiferroics, followed by research updates from consortium members highlighting recent progress, emerging ideas, and plans for the next stages of the programme. The second day continued with further research presentations, progress reports from work package leaders, and valuable input from the CAMIE Advisory Board. Strong engagement and discussion throughout the meeting reflected the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of the CAMIE consortium.
