The E-MRS Fall Meeting has been organised since 2002 as a twin conference to the Spring Meeting held every year in Strasbourg. During that time the Fall Meeting has grew from 3 symposia and about 200 participants in 2002 to 12 symposia and around 750 participants in 2008. What is also important the conference became multi-national and has representatives from all over the world.
The Fall Meeting organizers follow the procedures developed over the years by the Society to host wide ranging multi-disciplinary conference to bring established scientists with a world reputation together to share their state-of-the-art knowledge and experience. The most important philosophy of E-MRS is to facilitate scientific and social contacts between established researchers, young scientists and Ph.D. students and promote technology transfer from public institutions to industry.
For better
understanding our guests' and clients' needs and requirements, as
well as for further Fall Meetings organisation procedures
improvement, organisers would appreciate recognizing your
opinion and suggestions about this meeting. Click to submit

The 2009 E-MRS Fall Exhibit is scheduled to coincide with the Conference programme and will provide exhibitors with ample opportunity for in depth discussion with participants.
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 6 fall meetings have taken place, in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008.
The Polish Materials Science Society
The Polish Materials Science Society (PMSS) was founded in December 2004. PMSS 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 the interdisciplinary meetings, conferences,
workshops and schools important for the PMSS members
- distribution of information among scientists working in the
field of materials research
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 had shown that this was a single crystal
and so the Czochralski Method for single crystal growth was born. The
method is used for example 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. 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, E-MRS established an award in the name of Jan Czochralski. The Society formally legalised the Czochralski Award for Achievements in Materials 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. For many years of communist rule, the achievements of Prof. Czochralski could not be adequately acknowledged in Poland. 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.
To date five recipients have been honoured: Professor Dr Walter Heywang, formerly Director of Research of Siemens, Professor Dr Boris Paton, the long term President of the Ukraine National Academy of Science, Prof. Thaddeus B. Massalski from Carnegie Mellon University, Prof. Shuji Nakamura from University of California and Prof. Kurt Heinz Juergen Buschow from University of Amsterdam. The year 2009 receipient will be Prof. Hermann Grimmeiss from University of Lund .
The best Ph.D. student's poster from each Symposium is selected by Symposia Chairpersons and honoured with an award for the best poster.
The first authors (presenting persons) of the best posters of E-MRS 2009 Fall Meeting will receive:
The Poster Award Ceremony is on Wednesday, 16th September at Poster Session 2.

Please, consult abstract composition manual for more details. You can correct your abstract on-line at any time. Please consult abstract composition manual for more details.
Duration of oral presentation, including discussion , depends on a Symposium Organisers but reccomended to be:
For the oral presentations - the following equipment will be present:
The maximum size for a poster is format A0 according to the ISO 216 (814mm x 1189mm). The poster board will be full white board.
The posters should be displayed during the whole conference. It is expected the discussion at the posters will take part during the coffee and lunch breaks. This is why we ask you kindly to be in proximity of your posters during two Poster Sessions and the most of breaks. It is mandatory that one of the authors is present at the both poster sessions (Monday & Wednesday) to ensure that discussions about the presentation can be held with other participants.
You are asked:
· to paste your poster sheets to the allotted board immediately after you arrive to the conference. In the first conference day (September, 14) you can paste them during between 8:00-9:30 - during the time of conference registration, the best (or immediately after your arrival, if you are delayed). A group of organisers will provide help you in any matter and means. Bring your own materials that may be helpful while arranging your poster. Please note that duct tape is the proper thing when push-pins are not allowed!!!
· to vacate your poster board to the end of conference (or prior our earlier departure you are asked vacate your poster board or you can leave the material there and it will be removed by the organisers after closing the conference. The poster sheets will be not returned and they can be damaged in this case.
