founders from several universities and institutions. The vision is to be international and
professional organization. It is very important for Indonesia to be part of the Global
Materials Network and responsible for the education and training of young researchers in
the materials research. In 2016, during the IUMRS-General Assembly in Singapore,
Indonesia was first consider as a member. In 2017, with the support MRS-Singapore MRSINA
has applied the membership, and was accepted officially at the General Assembly in
Kyoto, Japan. As adhering body, MRS-INA is authorized to organize the ICA-IUMRS

19th International Conference in Asia-International Union of Materials Research Societies (ICA-IUMRS)

On behalf of the Materials Research Society Indonesia (MRS-INA), we are pleased to announce the 19th International Union of Materials Research Societies International Conference in Asia (IUMRS-ICA) is going to be held in Bali, Indonesia on 31st October – 2nd November 2018. The venue, Bali, is the famous island in Indonesia for international tourism destination in which some magnificent temple and outstanding panoramic scenery are located. International Conference of Materials Research Society in Asia is the annual event presented by IUMRS conjoined with the ASIAN adhering body in order to provide knowledge exchange in materials science. Authorized by IUMRS, IUMRS-ICA 2018 will be organized by MRS Indonesia and co-organized by MRS-Thailand, MRS-Singapore, MRS-Japan.

Materials are very important in our daily lives. Materials have contributed to the advancement of a number of technologies, including medicine and health, information and communication, national security and space, transportation, structural materials, arts and literature, textiles, personal hygiene, agriculture and food science and the environment. The Materials Science and Engineering is amplified by its close connections with other disciplines. These inter-disciplinary interactions between the Material sciences and other fields in the development of new materials and their applications also require close interaction and clear communication between scientists working in diverse areas. Therefore it will become necessary for scientists of all backgrounds to better understand how to undertake collaborative activities with other disciplines.

The 3days program will consist of scientific programs and also cultural and social event. The opening ceremony will begin by welcome speech from the Chair Committee, and Greeting from the President of MRS-Indonesia. Followed by the
