After the First China-France Workshop on Advanced Materials hosted by Wuhan (Wuhan University of Technology) in 2014, the University of Lorraine is proud to welcome the 2^nd China-France Workshop on Advanced Materials from August 30 > September 2 in Metz which will provide an update on advanced materials research developed in both institutions. Visits of the research groups and official meetings in both Nancy and Metz are also scheduled during the conference.

Oral Presentations and posters are welcome and should deal with all aspects in the following areas:

• Light-weight materials and structures,
• Materials for energy,
• Nanomaterials and nanotechnologies,
• Multi-scale modeling and simulation of materials,
• Education connected to material sciences.

Abstract submission:

Please go to the Submission Site (http://www.lem3.fr/CFWAM-2/). Each abstract will be reviewed by a member of the scientific committee in the relevant field

This workshop will provide an excellent opportunity for exchange of ideas, long term collaboration, and fruitful discussions. Plenary keynote lectures will give an overview about progress in some of the CFWAM-2 fields. We are looking forward to seeing you soon in Lorraine!!!

Best regards,

Chairmen of the CFWAM-2,

Dear Colleagues,

The CFWAM-2 organization committee is pleased to announce the first call for the 2^nd workshop on advanced materials which will take place this time in the Lorraine Region (Metz and Nancy) from July 10^th until July 13^th 2016. This second edition will be also organized jointly by the Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) and the Université de Lorraine (UL) with the help of the Conseil Régional de Lorraine.

This 3-day meeting will provide an update on advanced materials research developed in both institutions after the first workshop held in Wuhan in November 2014. A better research and perspective knowledge of our laboratories should help to build research and educational synergies. long term collaborations in strategic fields for our two regions, such as, the development of the European Material Valley in Lorraine via the UL (Institut Jean Lamour, LEM3, Labex DAMAS, Institut Jean Barriol) and its collaboration with engineering schools and research institutes (CENTRALE-SUPELEC, ENIM, GTL, ENSAM-ParisTech). Since the initial workshop, 5 collaborations have been initiated thanks to some financial support from the Lorraine Region for the next two years.

This joint relation will allow fruitful exchanges between our two institutions in both scientific and human aspects.

5 sessions will be organized concerning: light-weight materials and structures, materials for energy, nanomaterials and nanotechnologies, multi-scale modeling and simulation of materials and education connected to material sciences. It will be possible to bring some posters for fruitful discussion during the whole workshop. Technical visits and meetings with local authorities will be arranged in both sites (Metz and Nancy). The final program should be known soon and will be sent to you as soon as it becomes official.

            Very soon, you will find the details for the preparation of the abstracts (oral presentations and posters). Note that registration for the workshop is free.

            Feel free to contact us for any further information. We are looking forward to seeing you in Metz and Nancy!!

Best regards,

                                                                       The CFWAM-2 Organization Committee

Lors de la finale du Trophée mc6, qui s'est déroulée le jeudi 3 décembre au CESCOM de Metz, Jasmine HERTZOG, doctorante au LCP-A2MC s'est illustrée en remportant la 3e place du concours et la somme de 200€ pour son projet intitulé "Carburez Vert!". Le principe est de permettre l'amélioration du process de fabrication de biocarburants à l'aide de la caractérisation par spectrométrie de masse. Le résumé de son projet est disponible en téléchargement.

Toutes nos félicitations à Jasmine Hertzog et toute son équipe pour cet excellent résultat!

Andrei Postnikov is one of this year's group of Outstanding Referees of the Physical Review and Physical Review Letters journals, as chosen by the journal editors, to express their appreciation for the essential work that anonymous peer reviewers do for those journals. An annual program has been organized by the editors to recognize a small percentage of the 54,000 active referees each year as "Outstanding Referees".Our Congratulations.

A l'occasion de l'Année Internationale de la Cristallographie, le laboratoire CRM2 a monté, en collaboration avec la CST de l'UL, l'exposition BLING BLING, une exposition itinérante autour du cristal qui se déplace dans toute la Lorraine pour faire découvrir au public les différentes facettes de la cristallographie.

Cette exposition est actuellement installée sur le campus de la Faculté des Sciences, en salle SC6, et vous êtes invité(e)s à venir la découvrir nombreux(ses) tous les jours entre 12h et 14h (hors week-ends et vacances universitaires) jusqu'au 6 mars 2015.
