YUCOMAT 2008 Features Topics from Designing Materials on the Atomic Scale by Nanotechnology to Advanced High-Tech Applications www.yu-mrs.org.yu On September 8–12, 2008, Herceg Novi, Montenegro, was once again the host of the Annual Conference of the Materials Research Society of Serbia (MRS-Serbia) and the Materials Research Society of Montenegro (yet to be officially established): YUCOMAT 2008, the general sponsor of which was the Institute of Technical Sciences of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. At the Opening Ceremony, Dragan
Uskokovic, the president of MRS-Serbia and the director of the Institute of Technical Sciences of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, welcomed the attendees. He said, “[The] Materials Research Society of Serbia has this year become the 27th member of the Federation of European Materials Research Societies (FEMS), which gathers more than 20,000 researchers from the field of materials science…. The prime

task we received as the youngest member of FEMS is to get actively included in the creation of [the] entrepreneurial climate in Europe in our field, which would facilitate the formation of start-up companies led by university personnel.” Uskokovic also acknowledged that this was the first YUCOMAT conference in which the number of presentations by international speakers, from 35 countries from all continents, exceeded the number presented by national speakers. This is considered symbolic of the growth and scope of the YUCOMAT conferences. The conference consisted of three plenary sessions and five one-day symposia (including four oral and three poster sessions), dedicated to advanced methods in materials synthesis and processing, advanced materials for high-technology applications, nano
