Chicago as hosting city of ICOMAT 2017

The next ICOMAT meeting will be hosted by the Chicago-based

CHiMaD Center for Hierarchical Materials Design in the metropoli-

tan downtown Chicago Located on the shores of Lake Michigan

in the heart of the Great Lakes Region of North America the city

of Chicago is truly an epitome of the ldquomelting potrdquo reputation of the

USA evidenced by a diverse array of cultural economic and

social experiences that draw tourism science and technology

arts and music to its streets year-round The ldquoChicago Schoolrdquo

represents a unique tradition of innovation across many fields

notably including materials as the birthplace of Materials Science

in the 1950s and Materials Design in the 1990s With the US Ma-

terials Genome Initiative (MGI) in full swing by White House man-

date the next ICOMAT meeting will be organized around the

central theme of ldquoMartensite by Designrdquo Symposia will include

design for microstructures properties advanced manufacturing

and performance
