CAMS 2024 is part of an ongoing series of meetings that are the product of the cooperation between two eminent materials professional societies in Australia – Materials Australia (MA) and the Australian Ceramic Society (ACS). These meetings, which represent the forging of joint objectives, began in 2004. Past meetings include:
- A combined MA/ACS conference (MAC-1): Melbourne 29th November – 1st December 2004, Co-Chairs Jian-Feng Nie and Nigel Stone
- Materials & AustCeram 2007 (MAC-2): Sydney 4th – 6th July 2007, Co-Chairs Simon Ringer and Dan Perera
- Materials & AustCeram 2009 (MAC-3): Surfers Paradise 1st – 3rd July 2009, Co-Chairs Jian-Feng Nie and Chris Berndt
- CAMS 2014: Sydney 26th – 28th November 2014, Co-Chairs Julie Cairney and Chris Sorrell
- CAMS 2016: Melbourne 6th – 8th December 2016, Co-Chairs Chris Berndt and Peter Hodgson
- CAMS 2018: Wollongong 27th – 29th November 2018, Co-Chairs Huijun Li and Dan Gregg
- CAMS 2022: Melbourne 1st — 3rd June 2023, Co-Chairs Xinhua Wu and Andrew Ang and Aijun Huang
CAMS 2024 is a product of these past meetings and continues to build on the legacy of these meetings and their co-chairs. We are extremely grateful for the contributions and ground-breaking work of the Past Chairs and thank them sincerely.
