Dear Colleague,
Just one more month to the abstract submission deadline 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 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 already have an impressive list of confirmed invited plenary speakers 
(http://www.mrs-serbia.org.rs/index.php/yucomat-2017-invited-plenary-speakers). 
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

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 
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). 
As always, advance rate fee is available until June 15th, 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)

all rooms are reserved by the end of June.
We will publish new and update existing information as they come, so
