Dear Colleague,
Considering the continuing abstract submission and few more available 
time-slots for oral presentations, the deadline for the abstract 
submission is prolonged till June 20th, so you can still send your 
contributions for the Nineteenth Materials Research Society of Serbia 
Annual Conference YUCOMAT 2017 that will be held in a beautiful little 
place at the Adriatic coast, Herceg Novi, Montenegro, 4-8th September, 
2017 (http://www.mrs-serbia.org.rs/images/YUCOMAT2017.pdf). Conference 
is organized by MRS-Serbia, endorsed by Materials Research Society 
(MRS), European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) and Federation of 
European Materials Societies (FEMS).
Program of the Conference consists of six Symposia dedicated to advanced 
methods in materials synthesis and processing, advanced materials for 
high-technology application, nanostructured materials, eco-materials and 
eco-technologies, biomaterials and, for the first time, Symposium F 
Renowned scientists from ex-Yugoslavia 
(http://www.mrs-serbia.org.rs/index.php/symposia-2017). The objective of 
the Conference is to critically consider the most actual problems in 
materials science and engineering.
On-line registration and abstract submission 
(http://www.mrs-serbia.org.rs/index.php/registration) is open, so please 
do not send your abstracts and registrations to me by email, but submit 
them on-line! The system automatically confirms the submission (scroll 
to the top of the page after you click on Submit button).
We have an impressive list of confirmed invited plenary speakers 
(http://www.mrs-serbia.org.rs/index.php/yucomat-2017-invited-plenary-speakers), 
with links to their CVs and abstracts. Since we expect an exceptional 
number of participants, we would like to most cordially urge you to 
register and submit an abstract on-line as soon as you can.
We are also happy to announce that the recipient of the MRS-Serbia’s 
2017 Award for a Lasting and Outstanding Contribution to Materials 
Science and Engineering 
(http://www.mrs-serbia.org.rs/index.php/award/2017-mrs-serbia-award-for-a-lasting-and-outstanding-contribution-to-materials-science-and-engineering) 
is Prof. Velimir-Mimo Radmilovic of Belgrade University, 
Lawrence-Berkeley National Laboratory USA, cor. member of Serbian 
Academy of Sciences and Arts (SASA), for his achievements in several 
areas of Material Science and Engineering, particularly in the fields of 
Physical Metallurgy, Phase Transformations, Nanoscience and 
Nanotechnology. Prof. Radmilovic will give his invited plenary lecture 
(http://www.mrs-serbia.org.rs/index.php/atomistic-phenomena-in-engineering-materials) 
during the Opening Ceremony of YUCOMAT 2017.
Please look at the information about conference fees and hotel room 
reservations and prices.
The information about the conference fees is available on the conference 
website 
(http://www.mrs-serbia.org.rs/index.php/general-info/conference-fees). 
We prolonged advance rate fee to be available until June 30th, which is 
also a deadline for all oral presentations fees payment. The late rate 
fee is valid until July 31st, which is a deadline for the poster 
presentations as a guarantee that they will be included in the Book of 
Abstracts, published in August. After that day, abstracts for poster 
presentations can still be submitted and fees for them paid through Bank 
transfer before the conference or on site in cash. Those abstracts will 
be included in the on site conference program, but not in the Book of 
Abstracts. Students pay half of the standard conference fee and have an 
opportunity to compete for the Award for the Best Presentation by a 
Young Researcher, awarded both for oral and poster presentations. Please 
contact me if you need a pro-forma invoice. Otherwise, Bank transfer 
details are available on the conference fees webpage.
Please note that the number of hotel beds at Sun Resort Hotel 
(conference venue, 
http://www.mrs-serbia.org.rs/index.php/general-info/date-and-venue) 
reserved for the conference participants is limited, and their 
availability is based on “first-in, first-served”. From the experience, 
all rooms are reserved by the end of June.
We will publish new and update existing information as they come, so 
please keep visiting Conference website
The Abstract Submission Deadline is June 20th, 2017.
We are looking forward to seeing you at YUCOMAT 2017.

Best regards,
