Materials Innovation @ TMS is a new strategic initiative that will be formally introduced through a series of special activities developed for TMS 2012. With its roots in TMS’s ongoing leadership in Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME), Materials Innovation @ TMS focuses on accelerating materials discovery and commercialization through the effective integration of computational and experimental tools that serve to unify and streamline design and manufacturing processes.

Plan now to take advantage of the learning and networking opportunities being planned for TMS 2012 to acquaint you with all that Materials Innovation @ TMS has to offer. Highlights include:

Debut of Integrating Materials and Manufacturing Innovation (IMMI), TMS’s new journal that combines peer review rigor with enhanced digital content to share innovations from materials discovery through manufacturing on a rapid, continuous basis. For more information, visit IMMI.tms.org.

A special plenary session presenting key issues and developments related to Materials Innovation @ TMS principles and priorities, including an update on the U.S. Materials Genome Initiative (MGI)—a multi-stakeholder effort to develop an infrastructure that will make advanced materials development faster, less expensive, and more predictable.

Continuing Education courses offering intensive learning experiences on the practical application of the latest knowledge and techniques related to Materials Inno vation @ TMS principles and concepts. Topics include “Integrated Computational Materials Education,” “Existing and Needed Computational Capabilities of Ni-base Superalloys,” and “Process Energy Modeling.”

An opportunity to learn from and interact with program managers from U.S. federal agencies at the Federal Funding Workshop highlighting funding opportunities related to the Materials Genome Initiative.

A chance to offer your ideas on developing innovative TMS knowledge sharing resources, as well participate in addressing critical materials science and engineering issues, through TMS’s new Open Innovation program. For more information, visit openinnovation.tms.org.

Check the Materials Innovation @ TMS website regularly at materialsinnovation.tms.org for updates on these and other TMS 2012 activities, as well as information and tools that you can use to implement related principles and techniques within your own organization or team.
