EUROMAT International Cooperation

EUROMAT 99 represents a showcase of the competence of the European materials societies which have established the network MatNet in order to promote and facilitate their communication and cooperation. They have started the dialogue with the European Commission in order to discuss programme goals and priorities for maintaining Europe's global competitiveness. EUROMAT is the forum where the MatNet goes public for the first time: FEMS • Federation of European Materials Societies EBS • European Biomaterials Society ECerS • European Ceramic Society EFC • European Federation of Corrosion EMAS • European Microbeam Analysis Society EMRS • European Materials Research Society EPF • European Polymer Federation ESCM • European Society for Composite Materials ESIS • European Structural Integrity Society EOS • European Optical Society EPMA • European Powder Metallurgy Association In 1998, the global network IOMMMS - The International Organisation of the Materials, Metals and Minerals Societies - has been established between materials societies from the major industrial countries all over the world, where FEMS represents continental Europe. Its 1999 Annual Meeting will be hosted by EUROMAT 99.

EUROMAT meets BRITE-EURAM, COST and EUREKA

EUROMAT 99 is focused to a large extent on the aims of the BRITE-EURAM Program, with reference both to the materials related topics of the closing 4th Framework Program of which many projects are presented: • Non-ferrous Metals and Metals Processing • Steel Processing • Polymers and Plastics • Materials for Transportation • Materials for Energy Conversion • Biomaterials • Construction Materials • Recycling. Further Topics of the 4th Framework Program are presented at the 99 Spring meeting of the European Materials Research Society EMRS in Strasbourg. Some of the Symposia of both events will therefore be mutually cosponsored by EMRS and FEMS. The structure and the topics of the EUROMAT program point already to the more application oriented 5th Framework Program. Equally, EUROMAT 99 offers the forum for the presentation of projects of the European Initiatives COST and EUREKA. These Initiatives cover all classes of materials. The dominant application areas include: • Electrical Power Generation • Information Technology • Buildings and Structures. The cross-sectional topics refer to: • Surface Technology • Tribology Engineering • Nanotechnology
