| The Materials Research Society of Singapore
(MRS-S) was created in 1999 as a not-for-profit organisation
to serve a rapidly emerging materials science community in Singapore.
The founding President of the Society was Prof Shih Choon Fong
who remains its Principal Advisor. The Society is affiliated
with the International Union of Materials Research Societies
(IUMRS).
Since its inception the focus of MRS-S has
been to promote materials science not only to researchers
in Singapore, but also to publicise the niche capabilities
of local researchers throughout Asia and further a field.
To this end, the Society's major activity
is the organisation of a biannual event - the International
Conference on Materials for Advanced Technologies or ICMAT
- that is held in July and attracts more than 1500 delegates
from all over the world.
MRS-S also awards prizes on annual basis
to outstanding Honours students at the National University
of Singapore. As the Society matures it plans to expand its
activities through:
• organisation of smaller, specialist conferences, and
• provision of scholarships to graduate students
