From September 27^th to 29^th, European Material Science and Engineering scientists (MatWerk) will meet at the Materials Science and Engineering Congress (MSE) at the Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany. This year’s guest country is special: one of the most important research and economic regions in the world, the USA.

With more than 1,400 participants, the MSE is one of the largest English-speaking congresses with exhibition in the field of Material Science and Engineering across Europe. In symposia and plenary lectures numerous scientific, social and economic relevant questions of Material Science and Engineering are discussed every two years.

The biggest U.S. societies – the Materials Research Society (MRS) and the Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS) – have been involved in the concept and design of the 2016 congress.

Hosted by the German Materials Society (DGM) in Darmstadt, Germany the MSE is the central platform for material science and engineering experts to present their research field to a large international community and to network across borders since 2008. In addition to different side events, the DGM Tag with its Nachwuchsforum is an integral part of the MSE.
The MSE´s host, the DGM, is the largest technical-scientific society for Materials Science and Engineering in Europe. For almost 100 years it has combined the expertise of the specialist field from science and the industry: by representing the interests of its members from science and the industry, and acting as a guarantor for the systematic development of the field.

One emphasis of the MSE lies on Biomaterials: This Topic addresses the growing interest of science and industry in the synthesis, characterisation, testing, and application of biomaterials, as well as their closely related areas of medical devices, drug delivery and tissue engineering. The motivation is not only the recent scientific progress in biomedical materials but also the new challenges of this exciting and strongly interdisciplinary field of science and engineering.

Materials scientists, physicists, chemists and biologists in industrial R&D, as well as medical professionals are increasingly facing situations where materials are confronted with high performance requirements and a challenging biological environment at the same time.

Registration:

The congress fees include the technical lecture program as well as access to the exhibition and side events, coffee during the official breaks, snacks during the poster session, the German-American BBQ and entrance to the MSE party.
