Call for Symposium Proposals
We are seeking proposals for symposia in current and future technical topical areas of materials research as well as broader impact areas. In particular, global collaborations and diversity are important features of MRS meetings. We look forward to receiving
proposals that maintain strong international and gender diversity in symposium organizers as well as invited speakers, including participation by industry-based materials researchers and professionals.
Submit a Proposal
Deadline December 4, 2023
Our goal is to plan a stimulating meeting that includes both new and rapidly developing topics, as well as current ones of interest to the materials research spanning materials design, functionalities, synthesis, processing, characterization, and modeling,
with a tilt towards applied areas as well as applications.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-
Electronics and Optics, including devices
-
Energy Conversion and Storage, and Sustainability
-
Multifunctional Materials
- Nano and Quantum Materials
- Soft Materials and Biomaterials
-
Structural Materials
-
Synthesis, Prototyping, Manufacturing
- Characterization, Techniques and Tools
-
Modeling, Simulations and Data-Driven Approaches
Proposals in emerging and rapidly developing topics are especially encouraged, including:
-
2D Materials
-
Adaptive and Responsive Materials
-
Additive Manufacturing
-
