This
symposium at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) is being held to honor Professor Merton C.
Fleming's many years of service to the field of materials science education
and research. The symposium will celebrate his exceptionally productive career
and contributions as an educator, a researcher, a technology policy leader,
a friend, and a mentor. The Department
of Materials Science and Engineering (DMSE), MIT, and The
Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) are the primary sponsors of the
symposium. Several other organizations
and companies to which to which Professor Flemings' has made significant contributions
have agreed to cosponsor the event.
The Royal Sonesta Hotel, adjacent to the Galleria in Cambridge, will be the symposium hotel. There will be a reception at the hotel for those who arrive on Tuesday evening.
