It is a great pleasure for us to welcome you to the

First International School on Advanced Porous Materials (MOFSchool)

Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs) and Covalent-organic Frameworks (COFs) are non-conventional porous materials based on the self-assembly of organic/inorganic and organic/organic prearranged synthons, respectively. The extensive library of synthons and synthetic conditions can lead to the formation of a wide variety of MOFs and COFs with functional properties â€" adsorption, separation, capture, heterogeneous catalysis, sensing, drug delivery, to quote a few â€" that outperform, in many aspects, those of classical porous materials.

This field of research is progressing very fast, evolving from an initial interest on the synthesis and characterization of these systems to the preparation of targeted advanced porous materials with exotic properties.

Advanced porous materials functional properties are of interest to the ever increasingly demanding technological sector. Consequently, unique products based on them are arriving (or will soon arrive) on the market. Yet, there is still a large playground for making new materials and/or improving the properties of existing ones.

The big question is: How can we do it??

The MOFSchool aims to provide you with tools to answer this question, by showing you how to rationally prepare, characterize, modify and shape MOFs and COFs into next-generation materials. In order to achieve this goal, we have gathered an impressive group of internationally recognized teachers, including Vladislav A. Blatov, Silvia Bordiga, Roland A. Fischer, Felipe Gándara, Rob Ameloot, Kirill A. Lomachenko, Jeffrey R. Long, Jorge A.R. Navarro, Davide M. Proserpio and Omar M. Yaghi”

The MOFSchool, jointly organized by the Universities of Insubria, Milano La Statale and Granada, has made a great effort to encourage participation of young, enthusiastic scientists from any corner of the world, for which we are gratefully indebted to our generous funders.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Villa del Grumello
and we are sure you will have a very fruitful and pleasant stay on the amazing shores of the Lake of Como!

Sincerely yours,

Valentina Colombo, Simona Galli and Jorge A.R. Navarro (School Directors)

This workshop brings together scientists and scholars from industry, research labs, and universities to present and discuss the recent advances in the field of oxide crystals, dielectric materials, laser and non-linear optical crystals, solid-state lasers, and related topics.Â

New Paradigms in the Mechanistic Understanding of Ordered Materials Assembly

UXSS is an annual event jointly organized by the Center for
Free-Electron Laser Science (CFEL) in Hamburg and the Stanford PULSE
Institute. UXSS is intended to introduce students and postdocs to the
latest science that is enabled by novel X-ray Free Electron Lasers. The
program will be highly interdisciplinary, with topics ranging from
materials physics to structural biology. The list of confirmed speakers
can be found below. There will also be a coursework exercise involving
a mock proposal for European XFEL, with the help of experienced mentors.

Â

The lectures cover the following topics:

• introduction to X-ray sources
• atomic and molecular physics
• condensed matter physics with X-rays
• theory of X-ray matter interaction
• structural biology
• matter in extreme conditions
• chemical dynamics
• coherent diffractive imaging
• inelastic X-ray scattering

Â

The MATRAC 2 School will provide a systematic overview of the application of neutrons and synchrotron radiation to the structural analysis of engineering materials and will focus on neutron scattering and imaging experiments. Therefore, the school consists of a two-day theoretical course in Herrsching and two days of experiments at the FRM II in Garching. The fifth day of the school offers further talks and a final discussion. All relevant experimental methods will be covered. Students and young scientists from research and industry from all of Europe interested in this field are welcome to participate.Â

Registration for the school is now open!Â

Extend registration deadline: 27th January 2019Â

Keeping updated on the latest trends in material science across a wide range of industries can be an intimidating task. Realizing this imperative, PRISM is set to organize International Conference on Materials Science and Engineering which is going to take place during September 16-18, 2019 at Melbourne, Australia with a view to promote awareness and enhance research aiming in developing solutions for the challenges encountered.

This materials science conference will provide an international medium to share and exchange the theoretical and experimental studies and research related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. It focuses on synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics.

Materials Oceania aims to bring together leading academic scientists, industrialist, research scholars, students, delegates and exhibitors to exchange and share their experiences, research results about all aspects of Materials Science, Nanotechnology, Chemistry and Physics. This engineering conference is also providing a platform to the companies and/or institutions to present their services, products, innovations and research results.

Meet the Objective Business sector with individuals from and around the globe concentrated on finding out about Materials science and Engineering, this is the best chance to achieve the biggest collection of members from all over the world. This materials science conferences in australia will lead you to get disperse data, meet with current, make a sprinkle with another product offering and get name acknowledgement at this occasion. Widely acclaimed speakers, the latest methods, strategies, and the most up to date overhauls in Materials science and Engineering are signs of this meeting.

The European Powder Diffraction Conference, EPDIC, is a biannual conference dedicated to all aspects of the analysis of polycrystalline materials by diffraction methods. Each EPDIC has the aim to highlight the latest developments in powder diffraction including methodology, data analysis and instrumental advances. EPDICs traditionally bring together scientists from institutes, universities and instrumentation companies to discuss the progress in academic and industrial research related to powder diffraction. The 17th edition of EPDIC (EPDIC17) will take place in the town of Šibenik, an emerging star of the Croatian Adriatic coast.

The aim of this conference is to highlight the role on non-covalent interactions in main fields of research science, including materials science, catalysis, crystal engineering and medicinal chemistry.

Attendees are encouraged to submit an abstract for the event.

Early-bird registration deadline: 31st March 2019

Normal registration deadline: 30th June 2019Â

Abstract submission deadline: 30th May 2019

The meeting is dedicated to microscopy of materials comprised of both organic and inorganic constituents in close proximity and is aimed at bringing together experts from both the life science and materials science communities to address this challenging and increasingly important topic. Different approaches such as the application of correlative microscopy solutions, low-voltage and cryogenic electron microscopy techniques, methods for fast acquisition and many more are discussed during the meeting in the context of studying hybrid materials
