With great satisfaction, the Brazilian Materials Research Society (B-MRS) announces the location, date and chairs of the next two annual events and invites the community to suggest topics for the symposia and speakers for the plenary sessions.

The XVIII B-MRS Meeting will take place in Balneário Camboriú (State of Santa Catarina, Brazil) from September 22 to 26, 2019. The event will be chaired by Professor Ivan H. Bechtold of the Department of Physics of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) ) and Professor Hugo Gallardo, from the Chemistry Department of UFSC.

The XIX B-MRS Meeting will be held jointly with the IUMRS – International Conference on Electronic Materials (ICEM-2020) in Foz do Iguaçu (State of Parana, Brazil), from August 30 to September 3, 2020. The chairman of the event will be Professor Gustavo M Dalpian (UFABC).

 

B-MRS listens to the community: suggestions of topics and speakers and call for symposia.

B-MRS has opened a new channel for communication with the scientific community to receive suggestions for the next event, regarding:

• plenary speakers
• themes for symposia

The suggestions should be sent by October 15 to the e-mail programa@sbpmat.org.br.

Plenary lectures should address a broad audience (different levels of training and diverse research topics). Plenarists must be outstanding scientists, renowned in the international scientific community, and able to provide a motivational lecture about the progress achieved over time, as well as challenges and perspectives for the future, in a specific research topic.

Thematic symposia are the axis of B-MRS meetings. Scientific contributions, both in oral and poster sessions, are presented by the symposia participants. For the next meeting, the scientific community is invited to to participate  in the choice of thematic symposia that will compose the program in two ways:

• With previous suggestions: sent by any member of the scientific community to programa@sbpmat.org.br until October 15, 2018.
• Submission of symposia proposals: submitted through an electronic form by a group of PhD researchers from the scientific community who wish to be symposium organizers, between 1 and 31 October 2018 (please notice the dates, well before the usual period from previous meetings). Go to submission form.
