TMS Events vs Challenge Buddy

The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) is a professional society that connects minerals, metals, and materials scientists and engineers who work in industry, academia, and government positions around the world. We create networking, publication, and professional development opportunities by convening international conferences, publishing books and journals, administering awards, conducting short courses and training, and bringing together the professional community to address issues of common concern. We also provide leadership in the accreditation of university programs in metallurgical, materials, and similarly named engineering programs. TMS currently supports more than 10,000 professional and student members on six continents. For a more complete look at the technology areas we serve, view our listing of Technical Divisions & Committees. To learn more, view the TMS Fact Sheet and TMS Annual Reports.
