The Algerian Materials Research Society was established in 2000 as an national association of technical groups which have an interest in promoting interdisciplinary materials research.
Current membership includes universities, centers and industries from Algeria.
The objectives of the Society include to facilitate national cooperation among materials research scientists to contribute to the advancement of materials research in all its aspects to advance the multidisciplinary nature of materials research nationally to promote information exchange among national or regional societies with interests in interdisciplinary materials research, and to work to coordinate their activities to promote communication of national materials research activities through appropriate media and to encourage well established materials research symposia to rotate through available meeting sites of materials research interest. The AMRS has the power to foster the establishment of national or regional groups or societies whose primary interest is in interdisciplinary materials research to provide information to developing materials research groups concerning services which may be available from established societies or groups to organize and provide sponsorship for national materials research meetings and related events such as workshops, summer schools, topical meetings, etc.
