The Materials Chain program of the University Alliance Ruhr invites you to the

5th Materials Chain International Conference (MCIC 2023)
"Materials Science Meets Artificial Intelligence - Advancements in Research and Innovation"

at Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany on August 31, 2023.

The foundation of the scientific method is reliable data. Digitalization provides
more and more accessible data, including Materials Science. The amount and quality
of available data, however, need new approaches to use the contained knowledge to
its full potential. In Materials Science these new methods are developed and applied
in the emerging field of Materials Informatics through the application of Artificial
Intelligence methods.

MCIC 2023 brings together scientists from experiments and simulations as well as
industry. We will discuss current developments and open questions in data-driven
materials science from atomistic to microstructure descriptions and structure-property
relationships as well as in research data management.

Register with or without poster abstract until July 21st, 2023 on the conference
website: https://materials-chain.com/news-events/conferences/mcic-2023/
The conference is free of charge.
