The XIV International Materials Research Congress (IMRC-2005) www.viep.buap.mx/imrc2005.htm Every year, the Academia Mexicana de Ciencia de Materiales (AMCM) organizes the International Materials Research Congress. This meeting provides an interactive forum for discussing advances in synthesis, characterization, properties and processing, applications, basic research trends, and education in the area of materials research. One of the main goals of the AMCM is to promote relationships and academic interchange with other societies and with those in fields related to materials research in order to improve research collaborations. In 2004, the participation of the Asociación Mexicana de Microscopía, the Iztapalapa Science Sol-Gel and Technology Society, the Academia Mexicana de Química Inorgánica, and NACE International improved the congress in many aspects; following this direction, in 2005 the AMCM, the International Union of Materials Societies (IUMRS), and NACE International organized a single congress encompassing the XIV International Materials Research Congress (IMRC2005), the “Materials World Network: The Next Ten Years” symposium, and the NACE International, Section Mexico, meeting. The congress was held in Cancun, Mexico, August 21–25, 2005. During the congress, colleagues, students, sponsors, and exhibitors created a multidisciplinary forum and provided an invaluable platform that allowed interaction among researchers and students from all over the world. Participants learned firsthand about new directions in materials research topics. The congress was successful this year in promoting relationships with other materials research societies, increasing the participation of Mexican and non-Mexican researchers and students, and improving the academic interaction of Mexican researchers and students with researchers of other countries. In addition, 120 scholarships were given. The total number of participants was 1000. The opening ceremony of the congress was carried out by Jaime Parada Ávila, general director of the National Council of Science and Technology, who emphasized the relevance and importance of the congress to the development of science and technology in Mexico.

was accompanied by Pedro Hugo Hernández Tejeda, president of the Mexican Academy of Materials Science; Arden Bement, director of the U.S. National Science Foundation; Robert Chang, general secretary of IUMRS; and Lorenzo Martínez Gómez, past president of NACE International, Section Mexico. The technical program consisted of 21 symposia and 1221 presentations divided among oral talks and poster presentations, with more than 150 invited speakers from 20 universities and five countries. Other events included 10 tutorial courses; a “Women in Science” luncheon; and an exhibition of instruments
