5th Technical Meeting of POSMATThis supplement brings together a selection of papers presented at the 5th Technical Meeting of POSMAT, held from November 22 to 24, 2023, at the School of Science of São Paulo State University, in Bauru, Brazil. The event was organized by the Postgraduate Program in Materials Science and Technology (POSMAT)1.
The event has been established as an important platform for discussion and advancement in the field of materials research, bringing together researchers, industry professionals, and students to share knowledge, technological advancements, and future perspectives for the sector.
The event featured short courses taught by technical experts from partner companies such as Horiba, Anton Paar, and Metrohm, as well as presentations by master's and doctoral students from the program and undergraduate research students, in both oral and poster formats. A total of 147 participants registered for the event, including 43 undergraduate research students (~30%), 94 researchers (including graduate students and professors), and 10 invited speakers. It is important to emphasize that among these 94 registered researchers, 14 are professors accredited by the program, while the majority of the remaining participants are graduate students.
The synergy between students and renowned researchers was one of the most remarkable aspects of the meeting, fostering a dynamic environment for meaningful discussions, groundbreaking collaborations, and innovative projects. We firmly believe that such interactions play a pivotal role in accelerating innovation and technological progress, ultimately benefiting the entire materials science ecosystem.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all professionals, organizing committee members, paper reviewers, moderators, and vice-moderators of the technical sessions who, with their knowledge and dedication, helped ensure the scientific quality of the event. We also extend our thanks to our partners and sponsors, whose support was essential for the realization of this meeting.
Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to all participants who contributed, directly or indirectly, to the success of the 5th Technical Meeting of POSMAT. It was a privilege to have each of you with us, and we look forward to seeing you at the next edition, which will take place in 2025 in Presidente Prudente.
Thank you very much!
