Economic prosperity, life quality, and healthy environment are tightly connected with the improvements in the existing materials and the development of new materials and processing technologies. These improvements and the development can contribute greatly to the national priorities: energy saving, safe and clean environment and health protection, information and communication, infrastructure, transportation, etc. In September 1995, in the Montenegrin coastal town of Herceg-Novi, a conference was held on materials science and engineering, including physics, physical chemistry, condensed matter chemistry, and technology in general. An initiative to establish the Yugoslav Materials Research Society (Yu-MRS) was born at this conference and, similarly to other materials research societies in the world, the program was made and the objectives determined. Yu-MRS, a nongovernment and nonprofit scientific association, was founded in 1997 to promote multidisciplinary goal-oriented research in materials science and engineering. The main task and the objective of the Society has been to encourage creativity in materials research and engineering so as to reach a harmonic coordination between achievements in this field in our country and analogous activities in the world, with the goal of including our country in the global international trends and projects. Until 2003, the conferences organized by Yu-MRS were held every other year, after which they became organized annually, always during one of the first two weeks of the month of September in the Montenegrin coastal town of Herceg-Novi. Following the political separation between Serbia and Montenegro, in 2007 Yu-MRS split into two new materials research societies: MRS-Serbia, the official successor of Yu- MRS, and MRS-Montenegro, which is still in the founding stage. In 2008, MRS-Serbia became a member of the Federation of European Materials Societies (FEMS). Mission Materials Research Society of Serbia is an organization of researchers working in the area of materials science and engineering in Serbia that promotes connections between national and international researchers working worldwide to achieve better results in their research and, thus, improve the quality of life. Vision Materials Research Society of Serbia will offer a platform where its members and their international associates can meet, discuss and arrange joint programs and actions. https://www.mrs-serbia.org.rs Preface 1 History The idea of founding the Society Learning timely from the developed world is a vital requirement for the continued progress of the developing countries. The story behind the founding of the Materials Research Society – Serbia (MRS – Serbia) nicely illustrates this. Namely, not too long after the American and the European Materials Research Societies were founded in mid-1970s and mid-1980s, respectively, we decided to follow along with these extraordinary efforts. YUCOMAT conferences organized by MRS – Serbia and having taken place first biennially and then annually on the first weeks of September in the scenic Adriatic town of Herceg-Novi serve as the best illustration of our success in this endeavor. For twenty-five years since the founding of MRS – Serbia and the first YUCOMAT conference held in 1995, each new conference has appeared better than the previous one, attesting to the validity of our early effort to create a Society that would not lag behind its developed world counterparts in absolutely anything, from the quality and contemporariness of science that it promotes to its involvement in regional educational efforts in materials science and beyond. However, to properly understand the history of our MRS, a step back in time needs to be made. As the last decade of the 20th Century rolled around, Yugoslavia was a relatively developed country, with its GDP being higher than that of many European Union (EU) countries. The country practically stood at the doorstep of EU, ready to join it in no time. A fruitful scientific and technological collaboration was in place with entire Europe as well as with Americas and countries from the eastern hemisphere. Our scientists, at the same time, earned the epithet of reputable partners, embodying an ideal middle ground between the eastern excellence in theoretical studies and the western interest in practicality. As was the case a few decades earlier, during the Cold War era, our country was practically a paradise for cooperation, having enabled the scientists from both sides of the Iron Curtain
