Announcement-International Conference on Materials for Advanced Technologies
Science ICMAT 2007 will be a multidisciplinary forum providing over 2,000 research scientists and engineers a first-hand learning platform, as well as the opportunity to share and exchange ideas with some of the best minds in the field. Encouraged by the successes of ICMAT 2001, ICMAT 2003 and ICMAT 2005 at which more than 2,000 members of the international scientific and materials research community representing over 40 countries attended, the Materials Research Society of Singapore will host the 4th ICMAT from 1 to 6 July 2007 at the Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre (SICEC).In conjunction with this bi-annual conference, the Global Enterprise for Micro-Mechanics and Molecular Medicine (GEM4), a new paradigm in global interactions among leading institutions to work together seamlessly across the boundaries of science, engineering, technology, medicine and public health, will also hold its first Conference on Cancer.There will be 18 Symposia covering contemporary topics of importance for the science, engineering and technology of materials. The technical program includes Plenary, Keynote, Invited, Oral and Poster presentations. More than 50 international exhibitors from all sectors of materials science and engineering communities will also be showcasing their products and equipment during the conference.In keeping with the previous ICMAT conferences, a few Nobel Laureates will speak at the conference. Some of the Nobel Laureates who are invited to give plenary lectures at the conference will also be giving public lectures at the University Cultural Centre of the National University of Singapore. These lectures will be opened to conference participants and to the general public including students from local Junior Colleges, Polytechnics and Universities.Thus, ICMAT 2007 will be a multidisciplinary forum providing over 2,000 research scientists and engineers a first-hand learning platform, as well as the opportunity to share and exchange ideas with some of the best minds in the field. The organization of the GEM4 Conference on Cancer provides further possibility for interaction with the medical researchers.
