HOTLAB 2023 is the 59th edition of the annual meeting on Hot Laboratories and remote handling. This year’s meeting is being hosted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The first meeting was held in Cadarache, France, in 1963. Since then, the purpose of the annual meeting is to share experience, know-how and to start the collaboration in all aspect of nuclear research and development (R&D). This meeting is intended for technicians, operators, engineers, researchers, suppliers, and managers working at and for nuclear R&D facilities – hot cells.

The purpose of the event is to present, review and discuss the state of the art of research on compatibility between coolants and structural materials used or proposed for use in fusion experimental facilities and future thermonuclear reactors for energy production; and to determine the applicability of the technology and materials used in advanced fission reactors to future fusion systems.
Specific objectives of the event are:
The resulting TECDOC will provide insight on the challenges affecting compatibility between coolants and materials for both advanced fission and fusion facilities. The TECDOC will document the current status of research and the R&D needs.

The 2023 ANS Winter Meeting promises to be one of the year’s most exciting and informative educational and networking events for attendees from every facet of nuclear science and technology. If you’re interested in expanding your knowledge, sharing ideas, and networking, don’t miss this opportunity. Please join us at the 2023 ANS Winter Meeting.
In addition, the Technology Expo will give attendees a glimpse into the applications of new technology through three days of exhibits and special events. The Expo will also give attendees many opportunities to network with each other and establish new professional relationships while having food and fun in a friendly and informal setting.
The 2023 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit will be held November 26 through December 1, 2023, in Boston, Massachusetts, at the Hynes Convention Center and adjacent Sheraton Boston Hotel. The world's foremost international scientific gathering for materials research, the MRS Fall Meeting showcases leading interdisciplinary research in both fundamental and applied areas presented by scientists from around the world.
You can also join us online for The Virtual Experience December 5-7.

Join us in person in beautiful New Orleans for the third installment of Materials in Nuclear Energy Systems, MiNES, to focus on research in the fission reactor materials community. The MiNES conference series grew out of two biannual symposia: Microstructure Processes in Irradiated Materials (MPIM), held at the TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition, and Nuclear Fuel and Structural Materials (NFSM), held at the ANS Annual Meeting. The conference takes place biannually, with TMS and ANS alternating sponsorship.
Science and technology would proceed faster and better in an ecosystem free of barriers that currently separate us by discipline, approach, institution, nation, access, wealth, seniority, race, and gender; we shall explore problems, consider solutions, and envision science without walls. Theme of the 2024 AAAS Annual Meeting is Toward Science Without Walls.

Abstracts due by July 1.
The TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition brings together more than 4,000 engineers, scientists, business leaders, and other professionals in the minerals, metals, and materials fields for a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary exchange of technical knowledge.

Time and time again, multidisciplinary research is touted as essential to innovation. That is why, from April 22-26, 2024, researchers working in seemingly unrelated fields will gather in Seattle, Washington to promote, share and discuss issues and developments across disciplines at the 2024 MRS Spring Meeting & Exhibit. The virtual portion of the Meeting is May 7-9, 2024.
The 2024 MRS Spring Meeting is the key forum to present research to an interdisciplinary and international audience. It provides a window on the future of materials science, and offers an opportunity for researchers—from students and postdoctoral fellows, to Nobel and Kavli Prize Laureates—to exchange technical information and network with colleagues.
Abstracts due FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2024. The NSUF is hosting session 9k.
