International Conference on Electronic Materials Held in Australia for the First Time

摘要

For the first time, a meeting of the International Union of Materials Research Societies (IUMRS) was hosted by the Australian Materials Research Society (A-MRS). The 2008 IUMRS International Conference on Electronic Materials (IUMRS-ICEM 2008), chaired by James S. Williams of the Australian National University and president of A-MRS, was held in Sydney, Australia on July 28 to August 1, 2008. The Meeting featured six technical themes comprising 20 symposia, some of which were held jointly with the 2008 Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials and Devices (COMMAD 08); plenary lectures; two forums, one on energy and one on industry; poster sessions; and an equipment exhibit. With abstracts from 51 countries submitted, 1000 presentations were scheduled. Following are a few selected highlights from the Meeting.
