INFORMATION COLLECTION AND DISSEMINATION SYSTEM MRSI hosted the IUMRS-ICA-98 conference in Bangalore during October 13-16, 1998 which was highly successful. The Technology Information Forecasting and Assessment Council (TIFAC) has identified MRSI as a nodal agency The prestigious conference IUMRS-ICAM was held in Bangalore, during October 8-13, 2007. for developing a data base for non-ferrous materials. In this connection, TIFAC has provided financial support to MRSI is a founding member of Asia Pacific Academy of create a data bank on non-ferrous materials at MRSI Materials (APAM). It has continued its strong links with headquarters, DMRL, Hyderabad dedicated for the APAM. Prof. CNR Rao is its Founder President. Currently purpose of data acquisition and storage pertaining to non- Prof. Kuznetsov is its President. APAM has members from ferrous materials, technologies for their processing and India, Russia, Japan, China, Uzbekistan, Korea, Taiwan and areas of their application. A group of professionals with Australia. diverse background in Metallurgy, Computer Science and Library / Information science are working with this The APAM India chapter holds its annual meeting in project. Presently the data bank consists of 1325 conjunction with the AGM of MRSI. APAM-India Chapter has 55 members.
