2. Location: National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Tsukuba, Japan
3. Program and other details: PDF

One major goal of the WMRIF is to attract and promote you. Scientists in the field of materials science and engineering (MSE).
You are thus invited to participate the 1st International Workshop for Young Scientists. It was thus decided to organize joint workshops for young scientists within the member institutes with the intention to build a platform to get known to each other, to build co-operations and to exchange knowledge.
This workshop of the World Materials Research Institute Forum (WMRIF) will focus on the designated 3 materials science and engineering topics:
– Materials for sustainable energy and environment applications
– Materials to increase the safety and reliability of components
– Materials modelling
During the workshop the best paper will be selected and will be awarded on the afternoon of the third day. The award includes a free visit for up to two weeks of up to three WMRIF member institutes contributing to the award.
Papers
Contributions to the three workshop subjects, Materials for sustainable energy technology, Materials for reliable and safe components, Materials simulation should be recommended by the WMRIF member institutes. However, it is also possible to submit abstracts on own initiative. Leading authors should be postdoctoral researchers with considerably well research record. Keynote speakers will be invited.
Submission of Abstracts:
Up to 300 word abstracts, including author name, address and phone, should be submitted via e-mail by May 1st, 2008 to the Vice President of WMRIF:
Dr. Thomas Bollinghaus (BAM)
or to the central secretariat of WMRIF:
Dr. Masaki Kitagawa (NIMS)
Dr. Jurgen Lexow (BAM)
Acceptance of Abstracts:
Authors of technical papers will be notified about acceptance until May 15, 2008. Final papers (up to 10 pages) should be ready and electronically available until June 30, 2008.
