Partnerships

European Society of Biomaterials

The Federation of European Materials Societies (FEMS) and the European Society for Biomaterials (ESB) have formalized their collaboration by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This agreement marks an important step towards fostering synergies between the two societies, encouraging cross-disciplinary research, and promoting joint activities that benefit their respective communities.

The MoU establishes a framework for cooperation, which includes:

• Promoting the cross-disciplinary use of biomaterials research in both Societies
• Coordinating conference schedules to avoid overlaps
• Organizing joint events, including dedicated sessions at each other’s conferences and webinars
• Facilitating the exchange of announcements and newsletters between the two organizations

E-MRS | European Materials Research Society

The purpose of this MoU signed between FEMS and e-MRS is to express the understanding of the parties to strengthen and promote the international collaboration between both societies based upon the principles of equality, reciprocity, mutual respect, best practice and frequent interactions.

It aims to encourage new international collaboration in the materials research field, both parties will alternate in leading the organization of joint symposia (to be labelled the ‘e-MRS-FEMS Joint Symposium’). The symposia will be held annually at FEMS EUROMAT conferences (odd years) and at the e-MRS Spring meetings (even years).
