Young Researchers' meetings are held annually late in December since 2002 and they are organized by the Materials Research Society of Serbia. Originally conceived as seminars, since 2007 these meetings were transformed into conferences. The previous ten meetings featured presentations based on the research of various young scientists from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovenia, Brazil, Germany, United States of America, China, Poland, Belgium, Spain, Romania, United Kingdom, Austria, Italy, Hungary, Russia, Canada, etc. At the Conference, young researchers, students of doctoral, master and undergraduate studies, are given the opportunity to make an overview of their research into materials science and engineering through oral and poster presentations. As for the scientific content of the conference, we have given full priority to research topics that are currently considered as being on the frontier of the field. Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials, Synthesis and Engineering of Biomaterials, Application of Biomaterials, Theoretical Modeling of Materials and Advanced Methods for Synthesis and Processing present only some of those exciting topics that will be given the central stage and most attention during this meeting. The conference is free of charge and the participants are invited to submit their papers to the journals Tehnika – Novi Materijali, Processing and Application of Ceramics and Energija. Early Stage Researchers’ Conference of Hydrogen Storage is held in Belgrade for the first time under the auspices of the COST ACTION MP 1103. The aim of the meeting is to gather the young researchers from all over Europe and the Word dealing with hydrogen energy, to discuss on the important issues regarding hydrogen storage and production. The papers from this conference will be published in International Journal of Hydrogen Energy Special Issue and Energija in order to disseminate the knowledge and to improve the visibility of our COST Action MP1103.
