INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE „CONTEMPORARY MATERIALS“ is organized, traditionally, for the eighth time, by the Department of Natural and Mathematical Studies of the  Academy of Sciences and Arts of the Republic of Srpska.
Conferences that were organized in previous years attracted a great deal of interest of scientific and professional public, and thus motivated and obliged us to ensure that the future conferences are even better organized.
The purpose of this conference is to discuss the current topical issues, in a comprehensive and multidisciplinary manner, concerning contemporary materials and their application in science, technology and industry.
This year too, the eminent scientists and scholars from country and abroad will take part in the plenary and poster sessions.
8th international conference „Contemporary Materials“ will take place from September 06 to 07,  2015.

As of this year, the work in the conference will take place within three symposia, with the opening lectures and poster presentations.

SYMPOSIUM A: Science of matter, condensed matter and physics of solid states

-      optical materials
-      magnetic materials
-      inorganic nanomaterials
-      methods and instruments for fluid characterization
-      colloid materials
-      eco-materials and eco-technology
 
SYMPOSIUM B: Biomaterials and nanomedicine
-      biopolymers
-      synthetic polymers
-      metal biomaterials
-      ceramic and glass biomaterials
-      composite biomaterials

Abstract of the paper and the key words with an indication of the symposium should be submitted no later than on June 15, 2015.
The notification of the preliminary acceptance of the paper shall be delivered to the author(s) by June 20, 2015. 
The deadline for the delivery of the complete paper is July 1, 2015.
The authors who do not submit the complete paper by that time will not be included in the program of work of the conference.
The book of abstracts will be published before the start of work of the conference and will be distributed to the participants during the registration, along with the work program.
After they have been reviewed, the accepted papers will be published in the journal „Contemporary Materials“ or in conference proceedings.
This website was designed to serve the participants and all the interested persons as a simplest and easiest way to have the necessary information about the conference.
