| Location: | Lila Cockrell Theater, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center |
| The REWAS 2013 symposium is designed to provide an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary platform where the materials and metallurgical professional can interact and exchange with other stakeholders and research fields to facilitate the transition to a more sustainable industry and society. By taking a material-focused perspective, as well as a product-focused perspective, bridges between the two can be forged. Materials experts will be the key to realizing, enabling, and understanding sustainability via a broad, systems-level perspective to their work. REWAS 2013 was organized to showcase this emerging perspective in materials research with targeted symposia organized in these three key areas: realizing, enabling, and understanding sustainability. |

This symposium will honor Professor Morris E. Fine of Northwestern University on his 95th birthday for his
outstanding contributions to the field of materials science and engineering. It will also offer a mechanism
for researchers, students, engineers, and administrators working in academia, industry, and national laboratories
to promote idea exchanges and advance the fundamentals and applications of materials science and engineering.
The process from materials research to successful applications will be examined by invited and contributed
speakers from academia, industry, and U.S. government in areas of current interest in all classes of materials. |
