Linking transformational materials and processing for an energy-efficient and low-carbon economy

TMS and ASM International have recently launched Energy Materials Initiative that offer information and knowledge exchange on energy materials issues and technologies. Energy Materials Initiative is comprised of three interconnected elements including energy education that addresses changing workforce issues, with a particular emphasis on energy materials. Another is energy event managed by TMS involving specialty meetings, workshops, roadmapping sessions, and other venues that bring together technical experts to define and capture opportunities for future energy materials technologies. Energy materials network managed by ASM serve as a hub of materials energy knowledge. ASM International, as a subcontractor to TMS, will customize, host, and support an online collaboration center that provides a secure, centralized workspace for Energy Materials Blue Ribbon Panel and technical working group members to create, share, and edit documents and facilitate communications with TMS staff members.
