A New Exhibition Concept?

Product managers miss a universal exhibition dedicated to materials science and engineering. How could this exhibition look like? Obviously, it will have to present new products for which new materials play a strategic role, e.g. products that would not have come up without progress in materials. On the other hand, this exhibition will demonstrate new materials and processes that are not yet dedicated to a specific application. Thus, representatives of any branch may be attracted. Following interdisciplinary approaches, this exhibition will generate new ideas and scenarios. Designed especially for developers, it will initiate cooperation between research and product engineering and demonstrate technology transfer in a completely new way: Research institutes and universities, but also industrial suppliers present their ideas, samples and prototypes in order to inspire product engineers.

MSE - A New Exhibition is being built

Such an exhibition, the "Materials Science and Engineering" briefly "MSE" is currently being built. It will represent the counterpart to the huge technology oriented fairs where materials engineering only figures as a cross sectional discipline split among numerous product areas. Nor will MSE focus on a particular materials or process related topic as many dedicated exhibitions do.

MSE will demonstrate the competition of the materials classes and processes. In addition, MSE will attach great importance to measuring devices and characterisation tools as used in research labs.

Organiser

MSE will be sponsored by the German Society for Materials Science (DGM) and operated by MAT•INFO Ltd.
