Registration

Register here on-line

The deadline for registration is extended to Monday 26^th April 2010.

 

Invitation to participate

For this 4^th edition of the CCMX annual meeting, focus will be given to PhD students and their research. Several projects will be presented by the students themselves and flash poster presentations will prepare the visitors for a fruitful poster session during the lunch break. Speakers from the industry will join us to share some views on materials science.

 

Morning and afternoon sessions

For the first time, the morning and afternoon sessions will be slightly oriented for different publics. The morning session will focus more on the science and what is happening within CCMX, whereas the afternoon session will be more global with invited speakers from the industry and presentations of success stories. Both sessions and particularly the poster session during the lunch break are perfect opportunities for networking.

Everybody is welcome to come to both sessions, but it is also possible to attend only the morning or the afternoon session.

 

Participation is free of charge           

No participation fee will be requested, however, on-line registration is mandatory for organisation reasons.
