The European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. It will hold a special ceremony during the plenary session of this year’s Spring Meeting, which will be held in Strasbourg, France, on May 28–30, 2013. The Society’s Fall Meeting is scheduled for September 16–20, 2013 in Warsaw, Poland.
The Spring Meeting, chaired by Alain Claverie (CEMES/CNRS), Arnulf Jaeger-Waldau (European Commission), Francesco Priolo (INFM–Universita di Catania), and Anke Weidenkaff (Empa), features symposia on Materials for Energy, Electronic and Photonic Materials, Advanced and Nano Materials, and Methods and Characterization. The Meeting will also present a workshop on “Protecting and securing our cultural heritage: diagnostics, characterization, conservation and restoration.” The Meeting includes a tutorial and an equipment exhibit.
During the plenary session, on May 29th, Hideo Hosono (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan) will give a presentation on “Creating active functionality using lime and alumina: transparent metal, superconductivity and catalyst for ammonia synthesis,” and Matthias Wuttig (RWTH Aachen University of Technology, Germany) will address “Phase change materials: from optical data storage to novel electronic memories.” Award lectures will be presented by Sir John Pendry (Imperial College London) for the Anniversary Prize, whose talk is titled “Metamaterials open new horizons in electromagnetism,” and by Manuel Bibes (CNRS/Thales, France), who has received the EU-40 Materials Prize. Bibes will address “Nanoferronics: controlling charge and spin currents by ferroic orders.”
The E-MRS Fall Meeting will consist of 14 thematic symposia, a plenary session, and satellite events. It is chaired by George Kiriakidis of the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH), Greece; Giuseppina Padeletti of ISMN-CNR, Italy; Witold Łojkowski of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Bialystok University of Technology, Poland; and Wolfgang Jaeger of Christian-Albrechts-Universität, Germany.
The abstract deadline is June 10, 2013.
