TMS Middle East - Mediterranean Materials Congress on Energy and Infrastructure Systems (MEMA 2015)
January 11-14, 2015 • Doha, Qatar
This materials congress will focus on new materials research and development in applications of interest for Qatar and the entire Middle East and
Mediterranean region. The goal of this congress is to build synergy among researchers working on different materials applications but with similar objectives
of enhancing design, sustainability, and functionality of materials. The congress will also be a forum for establishing collaboration among academia,
research institutions, and industry in the Middle East and Mediterranean region and the rest of the world.
WHO ATTENDS
Attendees will be expected from government, academia, and industry and the fields of energy, sustainability, and computational materials.
TECHNICAL SCOPE
The goal of the technical program is to leverage regional interests and expertise, particularly along three tracks:
- Track 1: Sustainable Infrastructure Materials
- Track 2: Materials for Energy Extraction, Conversion, and Storage
- Track 3: Computational Materials Design
Track 1 will encompass materials issues and solutions pertaining to critical infrastructure and will have an overarching theme of sustainability.
In track 2, there will be an emphasis on not just renewable energy resources such as solar and wind power but also oil and gas, which are topics of key
interest to the Mideast-Mediterranean/North Africa geographic area. Track 3 will focus on computational materials design, especially as applied to
energy and infrastructure systems.
