ICYRAM 2012

Several graphene centre members are serving as conference organizers in ICYRAM 2012 international conference, taking place from 1 – 6 July, 2012 in Singapore.

The International Union of Materials Research Societies (IUMRS) is launching a new Global Materials Network (GMN). As an inaugural meeting of GMN, IUMRS is pleased to announce a new conference designed specifically with young researchers in mind, the International Conference of Young Researchers on Advanced Materials (ICYRAM).

The mission of ICYRAM is to provide a platform for researchers under the age of 40 to present technical findings of their research, to network within the international community of other young researchers, and to increase the breadth of their general materials-based knowledge.

There will also be opportunities for young researchers to seek the insight and advice of successful senior researchers through plenary sessions and instructive seminars.
Panel sessions will be held in both small and large settings, for focused and general discussions. The aim is to create an environment for interaction and the exchange of perspectives across a broad range of materials-related topics.

Encouraged by six successful editions of ICMAT, the Materials Research Society of Singapore (MRS-S) is excited to be involved with the first edition of this conference which will be held in Singapore, 1-6 July, 2012.
