St. Petersburg Is Site of E-MRS1993 Fall Meeting The European Materials Research Society (E-MRS), in conjunction with the Federation of European Materials Societies (f.e.m.s.) and the MatTech EastWest Conference group, will conduct its 1993 Fall Meeting at the Tavria Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia, October 17-21. The site will also host the 4th European East-West Conference & Exhibition on Materials and Processes, October 18-21. In addition to providing a venue for discussions on materials advances and the exchange of scientific and technological knowledge, the meeting aims to promote East-West industrial and research relations and tap the potential for EastWest scientific collaboration. The program includes a plenary meeting, seven symposia, the exhibition, and round table meetings. Of special interest will be a series of excursions to more than 30 St. Petersburg-area industries and research centers. These facilities will be open for visitation, providing a singular opportunity for discussing potential business and scientific cooperative ventures. This fourth European conference-exhibition is organized in the same spirit as previous meetings, but is being held for the first time in Russia under the auspices of the mayor of St. Petersburg, the
Russian Ministry of Science, the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, the Central Research Institute of Structural Materials "Prometey," the Commission of the European Communities, the European Parliament, and the Council of Europe, in addition to E-MRS, f.e.m.s., and MatTech. A distinctive highlight of the meeting will be the large number of scientists, engineers, and industrial experts from the countries of the former U.S.S.R. Notably, the event will host a sizable contingent of representatives from previously military-oriented laboratories and industries, providing a unique view of the scientific and technological achievements of former U.S.S.R. countries. The meeting will also feature graduate student awards (up to two per symposium) for graduate students conducting research on topics to be presented at the appropriate symposia. An award consists of 100 ECUs, a diploma, and waiving of meeting registration fees. The deadline for applications is September 15, 1993. Application forms can be obtained from: E-MRS Secretariat, Student Awards, BP 20, 67037 Strasbourg Cedex 2, France; fax 33-88-28-62-93.
Both Eastern and Western companies are participating in the equipment exhibition, whose main purpose is to promote contacts among designers of new materials, equipment, technologies, methods, and new concepts, as well as among innovation-minded enterprises, R&D centers, and companies interested in establishing different forms of scientific, technical, and commercial cooperation or joint ventures. Exhibition categories include: • Advanced ultrapure rare materials, • Testing and characterization of materials and quality control systems, • Advanced technologies and systems, • Catalytic materials, • Biomaterials for implants, • Optical materials and las
