For over 15 years, Materials Today has been helping to disseminate the most important breakthroughs in materials science and technology, through our publications and related media channels. Now, we intend to bring together researchers from around the world together to discuss the state-of-the-art in materials science, at a special event: Materials Today Asia.

The Materials Today Asia conference will take the form of a multi-day event that will focus on cutting edge materials science research and applications. The conference will be split into a number of focus sessions, looking at the hottest areas in materials science: nanotechnology, polymers, biomaterials, energy and materials characterization - providing a forum for discussion and debate and the opportunity to present research from the frontiers of materials science. In addition to plenary and selected presentations the conference will feature poster sessions, workshops and other activities dedicated to each of the focus topics. It is our hope that the conference will take place in Asia in the near future.

We would be very grateful if you could answer a few short questions on the potential of such a conference. The survey will take no more than 10 minutes, and will help us tailor the event to meet the needs of the materials science community.
