Upcoming Conferences Sponsored by IUMRS or Adhering Bodies Involve InterSocietal Collaborations www.iumrs.org
Many exciting materials conferences are being planned in 2009 and beyond by the International Union of Materials Research Societies or its adhering bodies. And many of these conferences are collaborative efforts across the various adhering bodies. The European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) will hold its 2009 Spring Meeting in Strasbourg, France, on June 8–12. The conference chairs are A. Jaeger-Waldau (European Commission), H. Meixner (Max Planck Institute), J.R. Morante (University of Barcelona), and M. Stuke (Max Planck Institute). The meeting includes technical sessions on materials for energy, materials issues for oxide electronics, semiconductor materials, biomaterials, advanced functional materials, and diagnostics. Workshops will feature carbon dioxide as a new material for energy storage; the challenges for materials research in photovoltaic technologies, which is seen as a European strength; and the strand in the European Commission’s program known as ComplexEIT [European Institutes of Technology] that focuses on nanotechnology for energy applications. To register for the Meeting, e-mail to emrs@ emrs-strasbourg.com. The E-MRS 2009 Fall Meeting will be held in Warsaw, Poland on September 14–18. The abstract deadline is May 11, 2009. Details on symposium topics and abstract submission can be accessed at Web site e-mrs.org/meetings/fall2009. E-MRS is also accepting symposium topic proposals for the E-MRS IUMRS International Conference on Advanced Materials which will be held in 2011; the deadline is November 21, 2009. See the E-MRS Web site for details at www. emrs-strasbourg.com. MRS-Singapore is the host this year of the IUMRS International Conference in Asia (ICA). ICA is being combined with MRS-Singapore’s International Conference on Materials for Advanced Technologies (ICMAT) on June 28 to July 3. The technical sessions include two industrial symposia, one on nanoimprint lithography and one on microwave processing of materials. Other broad topics include biomaterials and medicine, nanomaterials, and materials education. Plenary speakers include Nobel laureates Peter C. Doherty (“Living in an Evidence-Based World”), Albert Fert (“Spintronics: The Electron Injects Its Spin into the Computer and Telephone Technologies”), and Hartmut

Michel (“Biofuels: Can They Help to Reduce Global Warming or to Solve the Energy Crisis?”). The conference chair is B.V.R. Chowdari (National University of Singapore), with principal advisor Choon Fong Shih (NUS). Registration at reduced rates is available through April 23, with online registration at standard rates available until June 15. Attendees can also register on-site. More information can be accessed at Web site mrs.org.sg/ icmat2009/. The XVIII International Materials Research Congress 2009 will be held in Cancun, Mexico on August 16–20. These meetings have been organized annually and will provide an interactive forum for discussing numerous topics
