Every three years, a powerful international gathering sponsored by five professional societies unites the greatest minds from the world of advanced materials and processing to exchange the latest developments.

Your abstract is needed to build the technical program for The 8th Pacific Rim International Conference on Advanced Materials and Processing, set for August 4-9, 2013, at the Hilton Waikoloa Village, in Waikoloa, Hawaii.

The technical program will feature compelling presentations on 15 symposia topics ranging from Advanced Materials Characterization and Evaluation and Biomaterials, Smart Materials, and Structures, to Materials for Energy and Solidification, Deformation, and Related Processing.

Interested authors should peruse the symposia topics and submit abstracts through ProgramMaster by December 14, 2012.

Hosted this year by TMS, the conference is jointly organized and sponsored by The Chinese Society for Metals (CSM), The Japan Institute of Metals (JIM), The Korean Institute of Metals (KIM), Materials Australia (MA), and The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS), who will organize PRICM-8.
