Symposium Supporters

Thank You for Joining Us in Seattle!

From April 7–11, 2025, over 4,000 researchers gathered in Seattle for the MRS Spring Meeting & Exhibit to share developments across disciplines. Held at the Summit—the Seattle Convention Center’s new addition—and the Hyatt Regency, the event showcased the power of interdisciplinary collaboration.

Attendees ranged from students to Nobel Laureates, all contributing to vibrant discussions and technical exchanges. The exhibit floor featured industry innovations, while poster sessions fostered collaboration.

Highlights included the launch of the inaugural Industry Track, with a keynote on research-industry partnerships and sustainable materials. MRS TV captured insights on generative AI, highlighted our newest MRS Fellows, and symposium QT06 explored defects in solid-state materials for quantum technologies.

The Meeting offered a dynamic view into the future of materials science and global innovation.
