2019 MRS Spring Meeting

Time and time again, "multidisciplinary" research is touted as essential to innovation. That is why, from April 22-26, 2019, researchers working in seemingly unrelated fields gathered in Phoenix, Arizona, to promote, share and discuss issues and developments across disciplines.

The 2019 MRS Spring Meeting & Exhibit is the key forum to present research to an interdisciplinary and international audience. It provided a window on the future of materials science, and offered an opportunity for researchers—from students and postdoctoral fellows, to Nobel and Kavli Prize Laureates—to exchange technical information and network with colleagues.

The 2019 MRS Spring Meeting was held at the Phoenix Convention Center and nearby Sheraton Grand Phoenix.
