Symposium Sessions

MRS is making frequent changes to the program, which is updated here daily. Please check back for updates.

The Boston Experience (In Person)

November 29 – December 2, 2021
Boston, Massachusetts

The Boston experience will include in-person opportunities to hear leading-edge science, meet with colleagues and explore a robust exhibit hall.

Select content from the in-person meeting will be live-streamed to the virtual audience the week of November 29, and in-person meeting attendees will also enjoy access to the full virtual experience the week of December 6.

The Virtual Experience

December 6 – 8, 2021
Online

The virtual experience will bring exceptional meeting content to attendees worldwide with live online, pre-recorded and on-demand scientific sessions.

Virtual attendees will also be able to view live streams of select featured talks and sessions from the Boston experience during the week of November 29.
