The Conference Across MRSEC-PREM Schools is a student-led initiative to bring MRSEC-PREM students, faculty, and industry together to help improve students’ research, academic, and professional skills. The conference was founded as a result of a growing need to network with students from other institutions and learn about their work.

The International Center for Materials Research at the University of California Santa Barbara is hosting an International Workshop on Synthesis of Functional Oxide Materials, whose purpose is to bring together Chemists, Physicists, and Materials Scientists involved in the synthesis of functional oxide materials for fundamental studies and applications.
