ABOUT Materials Research Society of Singapore, (MRS-S)

Materials Research Society of Singapore (MRS-S) was created in 1999 as a not-for-profit organization to serve a rapidly emerging materials science community in Singapore. The Society is affiliated with the International Union of Materials Research Societies (IUMRS). Since its inception the focus of MRS-S has been to promote materials science not only to researchers in Singapore, but also to publicise the niche capabilities of local researchers throughout Asia and further a field. MRS-S also awards prizes on annual basis to outstanding Honors students at the National University of Singapore. Society's major activity is the organization of a biannual event - the International Conference on Materials for Advanced Technologies (ICMAT) - that is held in July and attracts more than 1,500 delegates from all over the world.
