Euromat 2007

The Euromat SeriesEuromat meetings held every twoyears are sponsored by theFederation of European MaterialsSocieties. They have become primevenues in Europe for a major ga-thering of academics and industria-lists with an interest in MaterialsScience and Technology.

The Euromat series has been orga-nised by the 24 FEMS membersocieties and represents by this ashowcase of the competence of theEuropean materials community. Itincludes the following venues:

1989: Aachen, D1991: Cambridge, UK1993: Paris, F1995: Padua, I1997: Maastricht, NL1999: München, D2001: Rimini, I2003: Lausanne, CH2005: Prague, CZ

ExhibitionThere will be an exhibition of mate-rials related products, processingmachines and devices throughoutthe whole conference. The exhibi-tion space is on display on theextra page of this leaflet.

Further information is available onthe website and from the EuromatCongress Office.

Euromat 2007Nürnberg, the mediaval city in thenorth of Bavaria was the formerresidence of the German Emperorsand venue of the early DietParliaments. Euromat will takeplace in the new congress centrethat is part of the Nürnberg fairgrounds situated close to the histo-ric centre.

FEMS AwardsAt the occasion of Euromat, FEMSpresents its highest distinctions:

• The European Materials Medal isawarded to an active materialsscientist or engineer for distinguish-ed contributions to MaterialsScience and Engineering in Europe.

• The Materials Science andTechnology Prize is awarded to ayoung European materials scientistor engineer in recognition of a sig-nificant contribution to MST. It con-sists of a full set of the 20-volumeWILEY-VCH book series.

ProgrammeThe multi parallel session pro-gramme will be built from both con-tributed lectures/posters that aregenerated by the Call for Papers,as well as by quite a few keynoteand plenary lectures.

Comprehensive information and thepossibility to register and to submitabstracts will be offered throughthe website.

Conference Location

Nürnberg is a modern city with halfa million residents, the main city ofa European metropolitan region,and at the same time a rendezvouswith history, architecture, museums,art treasures. The artistic impact ofAlbrecht Dürer, Veit Stoß, PeterVischer and many other artiststogether with the patronage ofwealthy patrician families still cha-racterise present day Nürnberg.

The imperial castle, symbol ofNürnberg, is avisual testimonyfor the city's his-toric past. Be-tween 1050 and

1571 it served all Emperors of theHoly Roman Empire as residence.

The Old CityHall comprisesall buildingserected betweenthe 14th and17th century inthe block border-

ed by Rathausplatz, Rathaus-gässchen and Theresienstraße.

The Church ofOur Lady's builtby EmperorCharles IV wasthe first Gothichall church inFranconia. The

main altar is the famous “TucherAltar”.

The Hospice of the Holy Spiritwas a founda-tion endowed by the rich Pa-trician KonradGroß for old

and needy people.

The Wine Storeis one of Nürn-berg's mostbeautiful buil-dings. The fronttowards the riverPegnitz boasts

wooden galleries with metal foun-tains.

The NationalSocialist PartyRallies and RaceLaws are just asindelibly linkedwith the city ofNürnberg as the

Nürnberg Trials against the majorwar criminals of the NS regime,marking the beginning of internatio-nal criminal jurisdiction. Dealingwith this legacy responsibly andopenly has become the task of thecity and its citizens. Nürnberg'sexemplary commitment towards acity of peace and human rights hasbeen recognised throughout theworld. Today, the Party RallyGrounds host a comprehensiveDocumentation Centre situated atthe “Straße der Menschenrechte”,the Street of Human Rights.
