5th Materials Chain International Conference – MCIC 2023
Materials Science Meets Artificial Intelligence – Advancements in Research and Innovation
MCIC 2023 will take place at Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany on August 31, 2023.

About MCIC 2023
The foundation of the scientific method is reliable data. Digitalization provides more and more accessible data, including in Materials Science. The amount and quality of available data, however, need new approaches to use the contained knowledge to its full potential. In Materials Science these new methods are developed and applied in the emerging field of Materials Informatics through the application of Artificial Intelligence methods.
The 2023 Materials Chain International Conference: Materials Science Meets Artificial Intelligence – Advancements in Research and Innovation (MCIC 2023) brings together scientists from experiments and simulations as well as industry. We will discuss current developments and open questions in data-driven materials science from atomistic to microstructure descriptions and structure-property relationships as well as in research data management.
Registration and abstract submission for poster contributions will open in due time.
- Data-driven Materials Science
- Industry 4.0
- Materials Informatics for Experiments
