MRS Celebrates International Women’s Day

March 8, 2024

Please join us in honoring women advancing materials science research!

We invite you to join us in celebrating the achievements of MRS Members from the past year who are pushing the boundaries of materials science research! For over half a century, our Society has dedicated itself to recognizing the remarkable contributions of women in this field, while actively promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion through various initiatives. Our commitment lies in creating an inclusive environment where every materials science professional, regardless of gender, can thrive, eliminating bias, and serving as inspiration to others through our shared mission.
