Dear Colleagues,

During the Spring E-MRS 2018 in Strasbourg, France (15-22 June, 2018) we* will hold a symposium titled “Strength, plasticity, fracture and fatigue behavior controlled by interfaces and grain boundaries” (Symp. AA). More details about the symposium can be found at: https://www.european-mrs.com/strength-plasticity-fracture-and-fatigue-behaviour-controlled-interfaces-and-grain-boundaries-emrs

Please consider submitting an abstract for an oral presentation or poster related to the symposium scope. Also, please encourage young post-docs and PhD students to submit and abstract and attend this meeting that is being sponsored by the MECANO network. The meeting will be an excellent place to network and showcase your research.

E-MRS is also sponsoring Graduate Student Awards of €450 for each symposium (https://www.european-mrs.com/meetings/2016-spring/graduate-student-awards). Winners are chosen at the conference and awarded at the Wednesday Plenary (must be present to win).

The deadline for abstract submission is 18 January 2018. 

*Megan Cordill, Sandrine Brochard, Marc Legros and Erik Bitzek
