European Correspondents Network Established The Materials Research Society initially nucleated in the United States, but its influence has rapidly become international. The European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) gradually evolved through the 1980s, its annual 1987 conference in Strasbourg attracting more than 700 participants. The further international influence of MRS is now evidenced by the first meeting in Japan later this year (the International Meeting on Advanced Materials, May 30-June 3), and the upcoming conference in China in 1990. An important step toward becoming a truly international society, is the involvement of members from many countries. Last year in Europe, a nucleus of BULLETIN correspondents was formed, and the first meeting of the European Correspondents Network (ECN) was held on November 4,1987 in Strasbourg. The purpose of the ECN is initially to promote the diffusion of information on materials research activities in Europe. The correspondents will collect and transfer to the MRS BULLETIN relevant information from their own countries. Topics to be covered include: • European and national research programs as well as important decisions relative to planning, organization, stimulation, and sponsoring of materials research. • Organizations, institutions, and laboratories devoted to materials research— their activity, achievements, and new developments. • Announcements and programs of conferences, exhibitions, meetings, workshops, etc., as well as reviews, reports, and news. • Significant scientific breakthroughs and important technological developments (e.g., high temperature superconductivity, scanning tunneling microscopy, new fundamental particles, and more). • Issues relevant to the mechanisms of fast and fruitful transfer of information to industry. • Professional education in the science and engineering of materials. The present group is small and not yet representative of the community. During 1988 we intend to increase its size so that each country in Europe is adequately represented. Below are listed the names of the national representatives who attended the first meeting. France: A. Golanski, CNET, Grenoble Ireland: G. Crean, University of Cork; A. Moore, Trinity College, Dublin
Italy:
L. Zanotti, MASPEC-CNR, Parma Switzerland: P. Oelhafen, University of Basel United Kingdom: I.W. Boyd, University College London West Germany: I. Eisele, Universitat der Bundeswehr, Munich Plans are that each country will eventually have two or three representatives. Nominations for additional representatives, together with a short curriculum vitae, can be sent to a relevant board member and the Associate EditorEurope. Further information about ECN members will appear in upcoming issues of the MRS BULLETIN. I.W.
