INTERNATIONAL UNION OF MATERIALS RESEARCH SOCIETIES
E-MRS 2001 Spring Meeting Offers Satellite Event in Biomaterials The European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) 2001 Spring Meeting will convene in Strasbourg, France, June 5–8. It will be accompanied by the “First Forum Trilogy in Biomaterials,” as part of Symposium G on Cell-Biosystem Materials Interaction. The Forum will be held on June 8 and 9 at the Palais des Congres. The Forum Trilogy represents an innovative strategy in the policy of relationships in the science/industry connection. The Forum consists of three key actions. The first, called the “industrial forum,” is dedicated to industries concerned with biomaterials. Industrialists will present their business profiles as well as the successes of their latest research and production. The second key action is the “start-up forum.” In order to stimulate the creation of companies in Europe, a number of measures have been put into place, including a measure called “Start-up.” In this context, the Forum offers an opportunity, for example, for contacts between manufacturers and surgeons interested in new products, technologies, and users. The third key action, “Forum for the Valorization of a Doctoral Thesis,” offers students an opportunity to present their work orally in a conference room, followed by interaction with possible users and industrialists interested in the results of applied research. Through 19 technical symposia, the Spring Meeting, chaired by P. Glasow (Germany) and F. Priolo (Università Catania, Italy), highlights recent advances in the development and understanding of advanced materials. Several new symposia are offered in the fields of electronics and optics. Other highlights include Symposium K on Cellulose and Paper Deteriora-
tion, which places emphasis on the preservation and conservation of a paper-based cultural heritage. Symposium M emphasizes discussions of the physical and chemical problems induced by the stress and strain in layers grown by heteroepitaxy at the nanoscale level. Symposium S continues last year’s symposium on Current Trends in Nanotechnologies and is concerned with materials and systems whose structures and components exhibit novel and significantly improved physical, chemical, and biological properties, phenomena, and processes due to their nanoscale size.
The meeting includes an equipment exhibit on June 6–7, a poster session, and graduate student awards. The conference language is English, and papers will be published in a proceedings volume.
