Professional societies
At the Â鶹Éçmadou School of Materials Science and Engineering, we are associated with various professional societies. Some encompass broad materials disciplines, while others focus on specific areas.
Professional societies are an excellent source of information in your chosen field. They host networking events and provide invaluable connections for career advancement. Many of our staff are members of one or more societies. Below, you will find links to the Australian and international societies with which we are associated.
