Annual Meeting
Activities:
The Eg-MRS organizes an annual conference in different places around Egypt. The aim of the conferences is to provide a forum for exchange of knowledge in a high interdisciplinary field and to bring together national and international scientists working in academic and applied research in the field of solid state physics and materials science for constructive interactions. A workshop in selected specific topics is organized parallel to the scientific activities of the conference.
The topics to be covered in the conferences are:
-
Semiconductor Physics and Devices.
-
Metal Physics.
-
Superconductivity.
-
Law-temperature Physics.
-
Thin Films and Surface Physics.
-
Photonic and Optoelectronic Materials and Devices.
-
Magnetism and Magneto-optics.
-
