32nd Joint Seminar DMSRE32 2023 Development of Materials Science in Research and Education 4 – 8 September 2023, hotel IRIS, Pavlov, Czechia The first Joint Seminar “Development of Materials Science in Research and Education” (DMSRE) was held at Gabcíkovo in Czechoslovakia in 1991. On 4 – 8 September 2023, the 32 nd edition of the DMSRE seminar took place at the Iris Hotel in Pavlov, Czechia. The seminar is organized by the Czechoslovak Association for Crystal Growth and the Slovak Expert Group of Solid State Chemistry and Physics under the auspices of the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Faculty of Chemical and Food Technology SUT Bratislava, and Slovak Society for Industrial Chemistry every year with one break in 2021 (COVID-19 pandemic).The Seminar brings together a unique combination of scientists across a multidisciplinary spectrum and provides an ideal forum for the presentations and discussions of recent developments and achievements in all theoretical and experimental aspects of preparation processes, characterization and applications of materials in bulk, thin film, nano-crystalline and glassy states.The scientific sessions covered the following topics on materials science:– trends in development of the materials research– results of materials science research– education of materials science at the universities– information on equipment for preparation and characterisation of materials.The ambition of the conference organizers was to prepare a pleasant, open, friendly atmosphere for establishing new contacts, supporting mutual cooperation, spreading new scientific ideas and acquired knowledge, and also supporting education in the field of materials science.At the seminar, 66 participants presented 54 onsite and 4 online talks, of which 27 papers are included in this Proceeding. s of all contributions and seminar program are available on the conference website https://dms.fzu.cz/32/.Mária Behúlová and Zdenek Kožíšek (Editors)List of Organized by, Under the auspicies of, Scientific Committee, Organizing Committee, Sponsors, Editors are available in this pdf.
