European-MRS representatives (left to right): V.T. Nguyen (CNET Grenoble), B. Stritzker (IFF/KFA), M. Balkanski (University of Pierre and Marie Curie), P. Siffert (Centre de Recherche Nucleaire), Y. Nissim (CNET), and G. Harbeke (RCA Laboratory). three symposia: Energy Beam-Solid Interactions and Transient Thermal Processing (chaired by V. T. Nguyen and A. G. Cullis), Materials Under Extreme Conditions (chaired by E. Lusher, H. Ahlborn, and H. Fredriksson), and Semiconductor Quantum Well Structures and Superlattices (chaired by K. Ploog and N. T. Linh). The meeting was attended by 350 enthusiastic materials research scientists from both Europe and the United States.
Transportation. This meeting had an attendance of 450 due to the excellent and timely topic selection. W. J. G. Bunk (Cologne, West Germany) and J. G. Wurm (Brussels, Belgium) chaired the overall meeting. The symposium on Light Metals was chaired by R. J. H. Wanhill (Noordoostpolder. The Netherlands), on Composites by P. Lamicq (St. Medard En Jalles, France), and on Ceramic Coatings for Heat Engines by I. Kvernes (Oslo, Norway).
The E-MRS Fall Meeting, held the last week in November, featured three symposia with the common theme of Advanced Materials Research and Development for
A Spring Meeting is planned for June 1986 in Strasbourg (see related article in this issue). The organization is also planning its first summer school to be held in 1986. For the past several years, E-MRS has organized excellent, multidisciplinary technical meetings while operating simply as an unincorporated committee of scientists. Because of the success of their activities, the committee has begun the process of formally incorporating as a recognized European organization. During the 1985 Spring Meeting, a set of statutes governing E-MRS was drafted. Based on comments solicited from interested researchers, a final version has been produced. As secretary of the provisional committee, Paul Siffert has sent a copy of the statutes to committee members in Europe for their approval. The approved statutes will be registered with the French Court which will confer the incorporated status to E-MRS and thus permit them to be officially recognized as a scientific society by all countries of Europe.
