MCIC will highlight recent trends in materials science and production technology by giving insight into current top-class research and future prospects in this area. It figures as a platform for connecting materials research across borders and boundaries – covering the complete materials chain from basic research on materials to applied technologies and from the fundamental description of materials on the atomic scale to the properties of technical components and their manufacturing. 12 leading international guest speakers will present their current research in materials science and technology at MCIC 2018.

All participants are invited to submit abstracts. The contributions should be related to the scope of one of the four research areas of the Materials Chain:

• Functional and Structural Characterization
• Modelling and Simulation
• Processing and Synthesis 
• Production Engineering.

Presentation formats are contributed talks or posters. 

Deadline for abstract submission: June 30, 2018.
