THE INSTITUTE OF MATERIALS

The Institute of Materials (IoM) is the professional body of the materials science and engineering community. An elected council governs it and with a membership of over 18,000 individuals throughout the UK and Europe, the loM represents a formidable range of expertise across the disciplines of ceramics, metals, polymers and composites.

The IoM exists to promote and develop all aspects of materials science and engineering as a leading authority in the worldwide materials community and to provide a first-class service to members, customers and industry, supported by a well-trained and motivated staff.

INDUSTRIAL AFFILIATE SCHEME

The aim of the Industrial Affiliate Scheme (lAS) is to bring the benefits of membership of the Institute of Materials to companies as a whole, giving rapid access to the Materials Information Service (MIS) who assist with solving materials and related problems. Company membership of the IoM through the Industrial Affiliate Scheme, launched in 1996, now stands in excess of 200 members.

The lAS membership drive was originally focused on small and medium sized companies. This is still the case, but at the same time the lAS has broadened its appeal and now includes several household names amongst its members. including ABB, Lotus and Nokia UK Limited.
