T
he Materials Research Society (MRS) and the Sociedad Mexicana de Materiales (SMM) are excited to be working together on this global effort by growing the International Materials Research Congress (IMRC) held annually in Cancún, Mexico. The XXV IMRC will be held August 14–19, 2016. The Meeting Chairs are Jeff A. Eastman, Argonne National Laboratory (USA); Martin Heilmaier, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Institut für Angewandte Materialien (Germany); Olivia A. Graeve, University of California, San Diego (USA); and Manuel Ramos, Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez (Mexico). The Congress will feature 39 symposia covering nanoscience and nanotechnologies, materials for energy applications, soft matter and biomaterials, structural materials, materials characterization, and general materials science. There will also be several tutorials ranging in topics from Fundamentals of CarbonBased Electrochemical Capacitors, to Thin-Film Photovoltaics: Materials and
Devices, to Texture Analysis; and Electron Backscatter Diffraction. Hiroshi Amano, Nagoya University, Japan, will present the XXV IMRC Anniversary Lecture on “Blue LEDs and Future Electronics for Establishing Sustainable Society.” Amano has more than 500 publications and 30 patents. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2014 with Isamu Akasaki and Shuji Nakamura. Sergio Alcocer, president of the Mexican Academy of Engineering, Mexico, will present the Science, Technology, and Society Lecture: “The Importance of Materials Science and Engineering to Mexico’s Competitiveness.” The Academy has identified nine Grand Challenges for Mexican Engineering: competitiveness and innovation; education and research in engineering; energy and sustainability; food and rural development; health care; infrastructure, transportation, and cities; manufacturing and services; natural resources and climate change; and prospective and planning.
