The goal of the summits is to provide a platform for materials scientists, governmental
officials and entrepreneurs from Asia and the world to exchange recent research andtechnological achievements, and to promote cooperation.
The first summit was hosted in Marriott Shanghai Parkview Hotel, Shanghai, China,
March 8-10, 2021, consisting of the plenary session and six parallel sessions covering
areas in advanced materials research including
A. Energy materials,
B. Advanced process of light alloys,
C. New electronic ceramic materials,
D. Sensor system materials,
E. Biomedical materials andF. Advanced biomaterials.
