Visit 2007 Fall Meeting!
European Materials Reseaech Society organises
every year the Spring Meeting in Strasburg (this year by exception in
Nice), and Fall Meeting in September in Warsaw.
The 2006 E-MRS Fall Meeting registration will begin on Sunday,
September 3rd. Meeting will include 10 symposia, a plenary session,
training activities for young researchers or scientists wishing to
extend their expertise to new fields as well as an exhibition of
products and services of interest to those participating in the
event. The conference is in part supported by the Polish Ministry of
Education and Science.
The E-MRS Fall Meeting will be held in Warsaw University of Technology (main building), the biggest technical university in Poland.
The E-MRS 2006 Fall Meeting consists of 2 Plenary Sessions, 10 Symposia and Satellite events, and Poster session.
Plenary sessions:
Parallel Symposia:Poster session:
The best poster from each Symposium is selected by Symposia Chairpersons and honoured with an award for the best poster.
The first authors of the best posters of E-MRS 2006 Fall Meeting will receive:

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 4 fall meetings have taken place, in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 with a steadily increasing number of symposia and participants.

The Polish Materials Science Society
The Polish Materials Science Society (PMSS) was founded in December 2004 and promotes interdisciplinary cooperation between scientists working in different scientific areas - materials science and engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, medicine etc.
PMSS works in close collaboration with E-MRS.
The main aims of the PMSS are:
- provide a platform facilitating interdisciplinary cooperation
between materials scientists from different fields
- strengthening interdisciplinary meetings, conferences,
workshops and schools important for the PMSS members
- distribution of information among scientists working in the
field materials research and its application to new technique
areas

The Czochralski Award
Professor Jan Czochralski
is one of the most famous Polish scientists. He was born in
Kcynia in Western Poland, which was then under the Prussian rule, on
23 October 1885 and was the eighth child of Franciszek and Marta
Czochralski.
His initial interests were in Chemistry. One of his most
important discoveries was the technology for growing single crystals,
now known as the Czochraski Method. It was discovered in 1916 when he
found that after dipping a pen into a small crucible of molten
aluminium and withdrawing it, a thread of aluminium hangs from the
nib. Careful investigations of this thread had shown that this was a
single crystal and so the Czochralski method for single crystal
growth was born.
The Czochralski Method came to prominence with the requirements
of the semi-conductor industry. The basic method was developed and
became the technique that has been used for the growth of the single
crystals of Germanium and Silicon which are the basis of a vast range
of modern electronic equipment and devices.
Czochralski spent the early years of the 20
th century in Germany. Although he had reached an eminent
position in German industry, he was invited to return to Poland by
the President, Ignacy Moscicki, an eminent professor of chemistry. In
1929 Czochralski accepted a professorship in the Faculty of Chemistry
at the Warsaw University of Technology, where he was awarded an
honorary doctorate. He organised his scientific work through the:
Department of Metallurgy and Metals Science in the Warsaw University
of Technology and the Institute of Metallurgy and Metal Science.
Much of the later work of Professor Czochralski was related to
the properties of metals. He studied the anisotropy of the elastic
and plastic properties of metals, their corrosion resistance as well
as thermal effects related to the annealing of heavily deformed
metals. Professor Czochralski was a leading pioneer of X-ray
diffraction in studies of the processes taking place in metals and in
what is now described as technology transfer.
Taking into account the mertits of Czochralski for materials
science, technology transfer to industry, and international
colaboration, it seemed appropriate for the E-MRS to establish an
award in the name of Jan Czochralski. The Society formally legalised
the Czochralski Award for Achievements in Materials Science and to
date two recipients have been honoured: Professor Dr Walter Heywang,
formerly Director of Research of Siemens, and Professor Dr Boris
Paton, the long term President of the Ukraine National Academy of
Science.
In 2006 the Polish Materials Science Society, the Polish
Society for Crystal Growth and the Polish Academy of Sciences joined
with the European Materials Research Society to establish the
International Chapter of the Jan Czochralski Award. The first
recipient of Czochralski Award selected by the Chapter will be Prof.
Thaddeus B. Massalski.
The Ceremony will be one of the events of the E-MRS Fall
Meeting and will be held on 4
th September 2006. The European Materials Research
Society, which is the largest and most prominent European society
concentrating on Materials Science Research, helds since 2002 the
annual Fall Meetings in Central Europe in addition to the Spring
Meetings normally held in Strasbourg, France
. The Warsaw University of Technology accepted the E-MRS
proposition to be the venue for the conference.
For many years of communist rule, the achievements of Prof.
Czochralski could not be adequately acknowledged in Poland. Now it is
important to make the wide public aware of his tremendous
contributions to Materials Science and to European collaboration in
this field. It is therefore most appropriate that E-MRS decided to
present the award in Warsaw University of Technology, where Professor
Czochralski held a professorial position.
In recent years a number of organizations have also created
various awards or medals in the name of Professor Jan Czochralski,
which even more underlines the strong contribution of this scientist
to materials science.
