Report on the 21st Annual Conference YUCOMAT 2019 & 11th World Round Table Conference on Sintering WRTCS 2019 Herceg-Novi, September 2-6, 2019

From September 2-6, 2019 in Herceg-Novi an international elite of scientists working in the field of advance materials, nanotechnologies and sintering gathered for the twenty-first Annual YUCOMAT 2019 Conference and the eleventh World Conference on Sintering WRTCS 2019. Exactly fifty years ago, in 1969, the First World Conference on Sintering was held in Herceg-Novi, and in 1995 the First Conference of the Materials Research Society of Serbia was also held in Herceg-Novi. This was the first that the two conferences were organized together.
As in previous years, this year's conferences were well attended. From year to year, there is a slight but continuous increase in the number of participants, which has risen to 170 this year. Thirty-two invited papers were presented by eminent experts from the world's most famous research centers, seventy regular papers were presented orally and also seventy papers were presented in the form of posters. The authors came from more than 30 different countries, and as in the previous years, 80 % of the papers were from authors from foreign laboratories, while the rest were papers by domestic authors, or as the result of joint research by domestic authors and colleagues from abroad.
