XXVI International Materials Research Congress 2017 August 20–25, 2017, Cancún, Mexico • www.mrs-mexico.org.mx/imrc2017

T

he Materials Research Society (MRS) and the Sociedad Mexicana de Materiales (SMM) are excited to be working together to host the International Materials Research Congress (IMRC) held annually in Cancún, Mexico. The XXVI IMRC will be held August 20–25, 2017. The Meeting Chairs are Sergei V. Kalinin, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (USA); Ana María Martínez Vázquez, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (Mexico); Arturo Ponce-Pedraza, The University of Texas at San Antonio (USA); and Stoyan K. Smoukov, University of Cambridge (UK). The Congress will feature 49 symposia covering nanoscience and nanotechnology; materials for energy applications; soft matter and biomaterials; structural materials; materials characterization; functional materials; materials for electronic, magnetic, and optical devices; and general materials science.

Several tutorials will also be offered to complement the symposium sessions, including Biomaterials for Osseointegrated Implants, Computational Methods in Catalysis and Electronic Structure of Low-Dimension Materials, and Mentoring Young Scientists. Everyone registered for the meeting may take part in the third NANOMXCN (NANO-Mex-China) on August 19–20: “Mexico-China Workshop on Nano Materials/Science/Technology: Renewable Energy and Environmental Remediation.” The project aims to promote collaboration between Mexico and China, including the Hong Kong SAR. Plenary speakers at this year’s event are Hans Joachim Freund, Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Germany; Stephen J. Pennycoo
