In November 2018, the Goldsmiths’ Company Charity announced that it would support three new PhD studentships at Cambridge University in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy with expertise and guidance from The Goldsmiths' Company Assay Office, to help further the UK's position as a leader in precious metals research. The association with the Company goes back 100 years when a grant from the Goldsmiths' Company helped found the department dedicated to the study of metallurgy on 5th October 1920.
The recipients of the studentships, Owain Houghton (Queens College) and Ayush Prasad (Robinson College) are now entering their second year. Read more about their research projects and the Charity's support for the department here.
