INTERNATIONAL UNION OF MATERIALS RESEARCH SOCIETIES
Multisociety Conference on Materials Science Held in Cancún in August 2004 The Academia Mexicana de Ciencia de Materiales, also known as Mexican Materials Research Society (MexicanMRS), joined the Asociación Mexicana de Microscopía, the Iztapalapa Science SolGel and Technology Society, the Academia Mexicana de Química Inorgánica, and the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) International to produce the XIII International Materials Research Congress 2004 (IMRC-2004), VII National Congress of the Mexican Microscopy Association, I Iztapalapa SolGel Science and Technology Congress, IX Ibero-American Congress of Inorganic Chemistry, and III National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) International. The multisociety meeting was held August 22–26, 2004, in Cancún, México. The meeting provided an interactive forum for discussing advances in corrosion, electron microscopy, synthesis, characterization, properties and processing, applications, basic research trends, and education in the area of materials science. The president of the Mexican-MRS, Ventura Rodríguez Lugo, served as the general chair. René Asomoza Palacio, director of the National Researchers System of the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT), opened the event, emphasizing the relevance and importance of the congress to the development of new knowledge and future technology for Mexico. The conference consisted of 20 symposia attended by over 830 delegates from several countries. There were 1004 presentations delivered as invited talks, oral presentations, and posters. The conference awarded 120 scholarships. The event included 10 plenary lectures, an exhibit, and seven tutorials. An Industry-Academic Panel was held in order to build a productive exchange and cooperation between universities and industry. The goal was to establish a comprehensive industrial–academic collaboration alliance in order to create new industries through research and development and to develop innovative products
