Women in Materials Science & Engineering

The Women in Materials Science & Engineering interest group provides a forum for dialog among women working in, or pursuing education towards a profession in materials science or engineering. The goal is to share ideas and strategies that may be useful in professional life and to generate ideas for promoting awareness of women's issues to the broad professional community. 

We invite you to participate in the Women in MS&E activities:

  • SUBSCRIBE to the Women in MS&E Discussion List.
    In general, coverage will be driven by the active involvement of the List's participants. Topics might include academic tenure, career strategies, management styles, family management issues, among others. You will also see announcements of forums, meetings, Web sites or other mailing lists of particular interest to women in the materials research community. You are encouraged to make use of this Discussion List to make announcements or raise issues of interest to you.

    This List is moderated to ensure appropriate discussion on topics for women in materials science and engineering. The intent is not to censor any meaningful discussion; however, our moderator reserves the right to remove content that in her best judgment does not serve the interests of the participants, the List, or the Society. Comments recorded here are those of the participants and are not those of the Materials Research Society. The Society will not accept legal liability for comments posted on this List. If you have any questions or comments for the moderator, please direct them to mrs-women@mrs.org

    This mailing list welcomes participation by both women and men. Please invite your colleagues to subscribe and contribute their ideas.

  • Attend the Women in MS&E Breakfasts, held at both the MRS Spring and Fall Meetings. These special gatherings feature a timely discussion of issues facing women in the materials science and engineering professions. It is also a great opportunity to network with eminent women in MS&E from around the world.  Details regarding specific Women in MS&E Breakfasts at upcoming meetings will appear at the bottom of this page when available.
