The MDI Summer Institute is an extra-mural program that supports a broad range of outreach activities that promote research and educational platforms in materials design. The flagship event in the MDI Summer Institute is the annual Erich Bloch Symposium. Other activities and events include summer training workshops, industry seminars, and invited guest lecture series.
We are approaching materials science in the broadest terms. We have a very ambitious agenda, as we are exploring how innovation in materials science can lead to major breakthroughs for the grand challenges facing society in areas such as health, environment, policy and energy.”
