February 26 – March 2, 2017 • San Diego, California, USA
New Town Hall Event Added: Frontiers of Materials Research: A Decadal Survey
Posted on:
Feb 20 2017
The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine is seeking community input for a study on the future of materials research (MR). Frontiers of Materials Research: A Decadal Survey will look at defining the frontiers of materials research, ranging from traditional materials science and engineering to condensed matter physics. Please join members of the study committee for a town hall to discuss future directions for materials research in the United States in the context of worldwide efforts. In particular, input on the following topics will be of great value: progress, achievements, and principal changes in the R&D landscape over the past decade; identification of key MR areas that have major scientific gaps or offer promising investment opportunities from 2020-2030; and the challenges that MR may face over the next decade and how those challenges might be addressed.
The Town Hall will be held Tuesday, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., in the Pacific Ballroom 19 at the Marriott Marquis & Marina.
This study was requested by the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. National Science Foundation. The National Academies will issue a report in 2018 that will offer guidance to federal agencies that support materials research, science policymakers, and researchers in materials research and other adjoining fields. Learn more about the study.
