The Materials Research Society (MRS) is a nonprofit, global, member-driven organization founded in 1973 that advances interdisciplinary materials research. It brings together members from academia, industry, and government across more than 90 countries to collaborate across physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. Through meetings, journals, webinars, workshops, advocacy, and career development, MRS supports knowledge exchange and field-wide collaboration. Based in Warrendale, Pennsylvania, the organization has a broad international reach, with nearly half of its members based outside the United States. In 2024, MRS highlighted leadership activity with the appointment of a new MRS Fellow and a collaboration with UNC-Chapel Hill’s Graduate School to support student development.
