What are MRS Meetings?

If you want to advance your research and gain widespread recognition for your findings, MRS Meetings are the place to be. As the cornerstone of the MRS events portfolio, MRS Spring and Fall Meetings are your opportunity to connect with nearly 6000 colleagues, at each Meeting, in materials research across generations, to present in front of an international audience, and to collaborate with peers in your discipline. With a fundamental focus in fall and applied research focus in spring, these events cover it all.
