MEMA 2015 - Middle East - Mediterranean Materials Congress (MEMA 2015)

This materials congress will focus on new materials research and development in applications of interest for Qatar and the entire Middle East and Mediterranean region. The goal of this congress is to build synergy among researchers working on different materials applications but with similar objectives of enhancing design, sustainability, and functionality of materials. The congress will also be a forum for establishing collaboration among academia, research institutions, and industry in the Middle East and Mediterranean region and the rest of the world. The goal of the technical program is to leverage regional interests and expertise, particularly along three tracks: Track 1: Sustainable Infrastructure Materials Track 2: Materials for Energy Extraction, Conversion, and Storage Track 3: Computational Materials Design Track 1 will encompass materials issues and solutions pertaining to critical infrastructure and will have an overarching theme of sustainability. In track 2, there will be an emphasis on not just renewable energy resources such as solar and wind power but also oil and gas, which are topics of key interest to the Mideast-Mediterranean/North Africa geographic area. Track 3 will focus on computational materials design, especially as applied to energy and infrastructure systems.
