APMS

Posted by Ed Pickering & Chris Smith

Adventures in the Physical Metallurgy of Steels was held in Cambridge, U.K. from 23 - 25 July 2013. It showcased some of the most exciting developments in steel metallurgy, and aimed to promote extensive discussion and dissemination of the presentations given. Thanks to kind sponsorship, registration was free, and other costs were kept to a minimum. Weblinks were also made available free to those who could not attend in person, and the presentations recorded for access on Youtube.

The venue: Christ's College, Cambridge

120 delegates attended, including 30 presenters. No speakers were invited; selection was according to the level of adventure and risk in the work. The meeting was accessed live by over 50 locations around the world using internet technologies. These connections were often used to feed an entire audience, and questions from online viewers were taken live.

The oral presentations and other works selected from those submitted are published, and freely available, as a special issue of Materials Science and Technology with independent refereeing through the journal's usual editorial mechanisms.

The conference was hosted by the Phase Transformations and Complex Properties research group, Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge, and held at Christ's College, Cambridge.
