The IUMRS International Conference in Asia (IUMRS-ICA) is one of the most important serial conferences of the International Union of Materials Research Societies (IUMRS) and is organized by all of the Materials Research Societies in the Asian area. The first IUMRS-ICA was organized by C-MRS in September 1993 on a ship in the Yangtze River, and has been organized subsequently by MRS-T, MRS-K, MRS-J, MRS-India, and MRS-Singapore. IUMRS-ICA provides the opportunity for scientists, engineers, and students from not only Asia but around the world to exchange their recent achievements in the field of materials research and development. IUMRS-ICA 2010 will be organized by C-MRS and co-organized by MRS-T and MRS-J.

IUMRS-ICA 2010 will have 20 Symposia covering six fields of Energy and Environmental Materials; Advanced Structural Materials; Functional and Electronic Materials; Nano-scale and Amorphous Materials; Health and Biological Materials; and Materials Modeling, Simulation, and Characterization. A forum on Materials Education and an exhibit on Advanced Materials, Manufacturing and Testing Equipments will be held simultaneously with the conference.
