Symposium Support

The Materials Research Society invites you to share in the Society’s commitment to the advancement of scientific research. Your support of a symposium session at the 2023 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit will help the Symposium Organizers provide a high-quality technical program and encourage participation from researchers all over the world.

The Symposium Support Program for the 2023 MRS Fall Meeting offers four support levels—Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze. Exposure and recognition are based on your level of support and the opportunities in which you choose to participate. Signature Benefits and opportunities are available for both the in-person and virtual components of the 2023 MRS Fall Meeting.

MRS thanks you for your support, and for your commitment to the materials community!
