International Conference of Young Researchers on Advanced Materials (IUMRS-ICYRAM) is a newly conference sponsored by The International Union of Materials Research Societies (IUMRS). The first conference (ICYRAM2012) was organized by Materials Research Society of Singapore. Chinese Materials Research Society(C-MRS) will host the second conference of IUMRS- ICYRAM2014. The mission of ICYRAM is to provide a platform for researchers under the age of 40 to present technical findings of their research, to network within the international community of other young researchers, and to increase the breadth of their general materials-based knowledge. There will also be opportunities for young researchers to seek the insight and advice of successful senior researchers through plenary sessions and parallel sessions. Panel sessions will be held in both small and large settings, for focused and general discussions. The aim is to create an environment for interaction and the exchange of perspectives across a broad range of materials-related topics.
