The program of IUMRS-ICEM 2018 consists of 6 symposia; Electronic Materials, 2D Materials, Soft Electronics, Functional Materials, Energy and Energy Storage, and Bio-Engineering. Since the first conference was commenced, this meeting has become a fundamental ground to exchange quality results and ideas provided by the researchers and scientists within universities, industries and institutes. Furthermore, it also provides a forum to present the cutting-edge research outputs for future collaborations which would help both students and researchers within their future research studies and works to be conducted. Hence, I strongly believe that the individuals actively engaged in materials research and developments are greatly encouraged to participate in the conference and gain academic insights they have desired.
