National Committee for Materials Science and Engineering

The National Committee for Materials Science and Engineering (NCMSE) fosters interdisciplinary materials science and engineering in Australia, links the Academy to Australian materials scientists and engineers, including the relevant institutions and scientific societies, and links Australian and overseas materials scientists, primarily through the (IUMRS).

The NCMSE actively promotes networking and engagement in the materials science community, which is vital for this highly interdisciplinary scientific discipline. Through the (AMRS), which acts as an umbrella organisation with links to many Australian scientific societies, the NCMSE will encourage discipline-wide communications among materials scientists and institutions, with a particular focus on early- and mid-career materials research scientists.
