The International Round Table on Materials Criticality (IRTC) is holding roundtable discussions at established international conferences around the world to gather input that will ultimately result in a Roadmap on Criticality, providing advice for authorities and policy makers world-wide. TMS will host the third installment of this roundtable as part of the REWAS 2019 symposium at the TMS 2019 Annual Meeting & Exhibition. The topic will be “How Does Industry Manage Criticality in Product Development?” All TMS2019 registrants are invited to attend this roundtable session and participate in the discussion.
The IRTC project aims to advance the research in criticality assessment, foster international exchange and education in the topic, identify common ground and differences, and raise awareness towards materials criticality, especially in industry. It will also lay the cornerstone for a long-lasting international network.
The project is coordinated by ESM Foundation, Switzerland, and co-sponsored by the Federation of European Materials Societies.
