The Bernhard Gross Award, granted by the Brazilian MRS (SBPMat) highlights the best works in each symposium of the annual SBPMat meetings (an oral work and a poster per symposium, at most), presented by undergraduate or graduate students. Among the finalists, the best oral work and the best poster of all the meeting are chosen each year. (Know more about Bernhard Gross, one of the pioneers of research on materials in Brazil).
At the closing ceremony of XIII Meeting of SBPMat, in the morning of the 2nd of October 2014, at the Convention Center of João Pessoa (PB), the winners of the 2014 Bernhard Gross Award were announced and award certificates were handed in. The awarded papers this year may be part of a special edition in the open access magazine “IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering”.
Here is the list of the works distinguished with the 2014 Bernhard Gross Award.
