Invitation It is great honor for the Mumbai, Pune and Goa Chapters of The Indian Institute of Metals to organise the

55th National Metallurgists’ Day(NMD) and the 71st Annual Technical Meeting(ATM) at the BITS Pilani-

K.K.Birla Goa campus from November 11 to 14, 2017. NMD- ATM is an annual mega event of the Institute

where metallurgists and materials engineers/scientists from all over world, across the Industry-Academia-

Research spectrum, participate to share their knowledge and findings.

NMD ATM has always been an excellent forum for the best professionals of the metallurgical fraternity to

meet and deliberate on the challenges and opportunities in their field. An International Symposium on

“Lightweighting for Defence and Transportation: Trends, New Paradigms and Strategy” will be held on

November 11 through invited lectures and a panel discussion. The Annual Technical Meeting to be held

during November 12 – 13 will include three broad areas (Ferrous, Non-ferrous andMetal Science) and

their sub-disciplines spanning principles & methods, processing & manufacturing and applications. In

addition, contemporary topics like Societal Impact of Materials Engineering, Careers in Materials

Engineering & Manufacturing, Challenges & Research Opportunities will also be deliberated upon through

invited and contributory lectures, panel discussions and posters.

We, the Organizing Committee, cordially invite you to join us in Goa for a learning, sharing and

networking experience and for recognizing our colleagues in this multidisciplinary area. We welcome

your suggestions and proposals for convening specific sessions for this exciting annual event.

About Indian Institute of Metals

The idea of formation of the Indian Institute of Metals (IIM) was conceived as early as in 1945. However, the

Institute took final shape in the year1947. Since then, the Institute has seen phenomenal growth. Its

activities include the whole gamut of Technology and Science applications in the areas of mineral

beneficiation, extraction, fabrication, heat treatment, finishing of all ferrous and non-ferrous metals and

alloys, ceramics, composites and other emerging materials. The activities of the Institute also encompass

organization of national and international technical conferences and programs, conducting qualifying

examinations, publications, etc. Starting with a modest membership of 42, the membership now stands at

more than 10,000 drawn from various fields of metallurgical activities. The Institute has grown into a

prominent professional body and is now recognized throughout the world as one of the premier

metallurgical organizations.

About NMD ATM

The National Metallurgists' Day was instituted in 1962 by the Ministry of Steel & Mines, Government of

India. NMD is held every year on November 14th, coinciding with the birthday of Late Pandit Jawaharlal

Nehru, our first prime minister and the architect of Modern India. Leading professionals are honoured, on

on this day for their outstanding contributions in metallurgical fields including operation, research, design,

education, waste management, energy conservation and corporate leadership. The Annual Technical

Meeting is a mega calendar event of the Institute where leading practioners and researchers across the

entire metallurgy discipline, from India and abroad, participate and share their experiences. The first ATM

was held on 24th February, 1946. ATM 2017 will consist of theme symposia on various facets of minerals,

metals and material processing, invited lectures from leading authorities in the field of metallurgical and

materials engineering. All details and other updates will be made available through NMD ATM website:

www.NMD-ATM.org. Prospective participants to NMD ATM 2017 are requested to visit this website for

latest updates.
