Meeting Activities
Symposium Tutorial Program
Available only to meeting attendees, the
symposium tutorials will concentrate on
new, rapidly breaking areas of research and
are designed to encourage the exchange of
information during the symposium.
Exhibit
A major exhibit encompassing the full
spectrum of equipment, instrumentation,
products, software, publications, and services
is scheduled for April 14-16 in Moscone West,
convenient to the technical session rooms.
Symposium Assistant Opportunities
Graduate students who are interested in
assisting in the symposium rooms during the
2009 MRS Spring Meeting are encouraged
to apply for a Symposium Assistant position.
By assisting in a minimum of four half-day
sessions, students will receive a refund of the
student meeting registration fee, a one-year
MRS student membership commencing
July 1, 2009, and a stipend to help defray
expenses. The application is available
on the MRS Web site.
Career Center
A Career Center for MRS members and
meeting attendees will be offered in Moscone
West during the 2009 MRS Spring Meeting.
Publications Desk
A full display of over 960 books will be
available at the MRS Publications Desk.
Symposium Proceedings from recent MRS
Spring and Fall Meetings will be featured.
Graduate Student Awards
The Materials Research Society announces
the availability of Gold and Silver Awards
for graduate students conducting research
on a topic to be addressed in the 2009 MRS
Spring Meeting symposia. All finalists will
receive a waiver of the meeting registration fee
and a one-year MRS student membership
commencing July 1, 2009. The award
prizes consist of $400 and a presentation
plaque for the Gold Awards and $200 and
a certificate for the Silver Awards. The
application can be accessed via the MRS
Web site and must be submitted online
by December 30, 2008.
