MRTSI MATERIALS RESEARCH SOCIETY This year MRS sees two Fall Meetings. In Strasbourg, France, the European Materials Research Society Fall Meeting runs from November 26 through 29 and focuses on Advanced Materials R & D for Transport. Three symposia treating particular materials issues in the transportation industry will be held in the beautiful Council of Europe facility. To those of you finding this issue of the BULLETIN in your registration material in Strasbourg, welcome to the first Fall Meeting of the European MRS. You are participating in a forum specifically designed to enhance communication among materials researchers whose necessarily interdisciplinary approach requires such topically focused symposia. The symposia chairpersons and the local staff have invested a large effort in planning the program and logistics of your meeting, and we are sure you will find this meeting most productive. We would also welcome your continued participation in the activities of E-MRS. You may obtain more information about the Society by contacting the headquarters at the Strasbourg address given in the front of this BULLETIN In Boston, the annual Fall Meeting convenes December 2 and runs through December 7. On behalf of the Materials Research Society, let me welcome participants arriving in Boston. Normally in describing our ever expanding meeting activities, strings of superlatives are necessary. This 1985 Fall Meeting iscertainly no exception. As you see from your program, we have 20 topical symposia covering research at the forefront of their respective fields. We have the ever popular lunchtime Symposium X which offers the nonspecialist insight into advances in various materials areas. And, completing the list, we have a wholly new departure for MRS in Symposium Y, which delves into the issues of materials education, a field which is clearly the precursor to the pursuit of all the work reported in our forums. Taken together this program is the largest yet offered to MRS participants and comprises over 1,250 individual presentations. This is the first year we find MRS activities
running in two hotels and are fortunate to have been able to take advantage of the Boston Marriott/Copley Place and the Westin Hotel which are so convenient to each other. A great deal of planning is required to bring together a meeting such as this. First and foremost among those who have devoted their time and expertise to this task are the meeting chairs. These are John Baglin of IBM, David Biegelsen of Xerox, and John Fan of the MIT Lincoln Laboratory. The high quality of the program and its coordination can be attributed to the long hours invested by such talented individuals as these and we certainly owe them a debt of gratitude. Each symposium has likewise benefited from the technical excellence and diligence of their respective chairs. These scientists have formulated outstanding programs which will represent the latest, most incisive, advances in their fields by and to their broad interdisciplinary international groups of participants.
