The European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) a non profit scientific association founded in 1983 focuses on creating the synergy between interdisciplinary, innovative technologies, spreading and exchanging information and promoting technology transfer from public institutions to industry. The primary objective of E-MRS is to promote and enhance the efficiency of research in Europe in the field of Advanced Materials. E-MRS seeks to quickly inform researchers of the scientific and technological developments in their field of interest from the rest of the world through the society's links with other MRS societies belonging to the International Union (IUMRS).
In 2002 E-MRS decided to launch in parallel to the well established spring meetings in Strasburg also the fall meetings in Warsaw. Already 2 fall meetings have taken place, in 2002 and 2003, with a steadily increasing number of symposia and participants.
In order to contact organisers please follow this link.

The submitted papers will be subjected to a peer review procedure. Instructions to Authors will be dispatched together with the notification of acceptance of the abstract. All articles should be submitted at the Manuscript Office on the first day of the conference (or date of arrival).
The decision of which journals shall publish the symposia proceedings will be made by the organizers of each symposium. An announcement of these journals will be published on-line. It is already known that the proceedings of the Symposium B will be published in "e-Polymers" the scientific e-only polymer journal under auspices of the European Polymer Federation. http://www.e-polymers.org; Symposium C, Symposium E and Symposium F in physica status solidi; Symposium D in Nuclear Instruments and Methods A; Symosium G in Journal of Metastable and Nanocrystalline Materials; Symposium H in Materials Science; Symposium I in Reviews on Advanced Materials Science.
The exhibition will be located close to the technical session rooms and scheduled to coincide with the technical program. For exhibitors that will mean an excellent opportunity to meet just the right customers and disseminate information effectively. For meeting attendees, it will offer the convenience of visiting with multiple vendors all under one roof. So, plan to pick up some literature, enjoy a hands-on product demonstration, or meet face to face with company representatives.

The weather in September in Warsaw is usually warm and pleasant, however the evenings might be sometimes quite cold. The average daytime temperature varies from 15 degrees to 18 degress of Celsius. There is the possibility of rain, so an umbrella, light raincoat and comfortable shoes are advisable. The weather forecast can be checked at http://weather.icm.edu.pl/knowmaps/wwweng/mgram1208.html.
Most shops (except for food stores) are open from 11:00 until 19:00. Some department stores may open earlier or close later on weekdays as well as on Saturdays and Sundays. Polish craftwork is fascinating: wood craving and hand-woven rugs come mostly from the Zakopane region. Other souvenirs include glass, hand-woven baskets, paper cut-outs and crystal. One of the most popular souvenirs is amber from the Baltic Sea. Each individual piece can be fashioned into a pendant, ring, bracelet, or earrings. Most highly prized is amber with a prehistoric insect preserved inside, though it is a rare find. Poland is also known for its silver jewellery, which is sometimes combined with amber to create uniquely Polish pieces.
Poles are known for their hospitality and love of food. Polish meals offer a wide selection ranging from fresh game in season to Baltic herring. Red beet soup or borsch, is well-known, as are Polish sausage (kiełbasa) and stuffed cabbage (gołąbki). Dumplings (pierogi) come stuffed with meat, potatoes, blueberries, or sauerkraut and mushrooms. Bigos is a stew of meat and sauerkraut, while roast duck comes stuffed with apples. For dessert, try pastries with poppy seeds, or perhaps a Polish donut filled with preserved fruit (pączek). In the summer, try our delectable strawberries, blueberries and cherries.
