MRS-I Emphasizes Polymeric Materials and Ion-Beam Processing of Materials at 2003 Conference Published jointly with Facets 2 (3) (2003) p. 29. The 14th Annual General Meeting of the Materials Research Society of India (MRS-I) was held in Mumbai (Bombay), India, February 11–13, 2003. The meeting, which took place at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), was convened by S. Banerjee (BARC), who chairs the Mumbai Chapter of MRS-I and Ashok Misra (Indian Institute of Technology), who chaired the organizing committee. A symposium on novel polymeric materials and a mini-symposium on ion-beam pro-
cessing of materials were special features. This event followed a scientific meeting of the Asia Pacific Academy of Materials (APAM)—India, of which MRS-I is a founding member and to which MRS-I has retained a strong connection. APAM was held February 10 at the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mankhurd. R. Chidambaram, principal scientific secretary to the government of India,
opened the meeting. In his address, he emphasized the need to apply modern materials to the development of rural industry. He also released a compilation, titled “Materials Research in BARC: Highlights,” which was specially prepared for this occasion. In the keynote address, Anil Kakodkar, chair of the Atomic Energy Commission and secretary to the government of India, discussed challenges and opportunities for materials research and development (R&D) in the Indian nuclear
