2025 MRS Spring Meeting & Exhibit

Time and time again, multidisciplinary research is touted as essential to innovation. That is why, from April 7-11, 2025, researchers working in seemingly unrelated fields will gather in Seattle, Washington to promote, share and discuss issues and developments across disciplines at the 2025 MRS Spring Meeting & ExhibitMeeting venues include the Summit, the Seattle Convention Center's brand new addition, as well as the Hyatt Regency Seattle.

The 2025 MRS Spring Meeting is the key forum to present research to an interdisciplinary and international audience. It provides a window on the future of materials science, and offers an opportunity for researchers—from students and postdoctoral fellows, to Nobel and Kavli Prize Laureates—to exchange technical information and network with colleagues.
