About the 10th International Conference on Materials for Advanced Technologies (ICMAT 2019)
Encouraged by the success of the International Conference on Materials for Advanced Technologies (ICMAT) series held since 2001 and the impact it has created among the materials science and engineering research community both in the region and elsewhere, the Materials Research Society of Singapore (MRS-S) organized the 10th edition of the conference series from 23rd to 28th June 2019 in Singapore. The first 9 conferences in this biennial ICMAT series attracted more than 23,000 participants including 25 Nobel Laureates ,hundreds of distinguished plenary speakers , keynote speakers andthousands of invited speakers. The ICMAT 2019 had 45 technical symposia, 10 plenary lectures, including various themes, keynotes, invited, oral and poster presentations with the expected participation of 3,500 delegates internationally. Each and every edition of these popular conference series remained as premier sharing platforms for local and international academics, scientists and engineers.
