The Institute for Materials Research (IMR) invites you to the 2010 IMRG Spring Symposia, Tuesday, May 18 and Friday, May 21.
This inaugural event showcases the cutting-edge work of select interdisciplinary research teams from OSU’s materials community. The IMRG Spring Symposia will highlight the wide range of materials-allied research taking place on campus, from structural materials to biomedical applications.
The IMRG Spring Symposia event is made up of two symposia, each featuring presentations by 5 research groups previously awarded an IMR Interdisciplinary Materials Research Grant (IMRG) award. Each 30-minute presentation will include an overview of the research project, detailed research findings, preliminary results, and planned next steps. Each talk will be followed by an open question and answer period.
Come see one presentation or stay for all five!
All OSU faculty, staff, and students are welcome to join us. Light refreshments will be served.
