The Academic Conference on Microstructure and Properties of Materials is held once a year and has been successfully held for four sessions. As the three pillar industries of social development in the 21st century, materials are the basis for national economic construction, social progress and defense security. It plays a fundamental role in future economic development and social change. The conference held this year has sub-forums on materials characterization and computation, inorganic optoelectronic materials, and materials discipline construction and development, which will have a positive impact on promoting the development of related research and applications, and promoting materials discipline construction and talent training.
New era gives a new mission; new mission opens a new journey. Facing new situation and new challenges, let's gather our strength, invigorate our spirit, form a consensus, and join hands in the pursuit of science as at the beginning, and walk steadily and far, to write a new chapter for the high-quality development of materials discipline!
