It's not so long ago that the doors on the Castle were closed at the end of the 32nd MSIT meeting on Heterogeneous Multicomponent Equilibria, but already organisation of the 33rd MSIT meeting (and the 4th of MSIT Europe) is well underway. MSI is pleased to announce that Schloss Ringberg has been secured for our next meeting. The meeting will kick off with the traditional 'Get Together' in the Gartenzimmer on the evening of Sunday the 3rd of March and will finish at lunchtime on Friday the 8th.

We are also pleased to announce that the third MSIT Winter School on Materials Chemistry will take place from 3-6th of March 2019 at Ringberg Castle in parallel with the MSIT Meeting.

The success of previous MSIT Winter Schools has shown that there is much interest, in many countries, in learning about subjects closely associated with phase equilibria. The MSIT^®, Materials Science International Team, is a network of materials scientists with much expertise in materials constitution. 

For over 33 years, MSIT experts have been involved in a programme of critical evaluation of constitutional data and phase diagrams that has resulted in the publication of a series of over 56 volumes and an electronic database, MSI Eureka, presenting the 'State of the Art' on almost 4500 alloy systems. 

The Winter Schools provide the opportunity to learn techniques that are important in the understanding of phase equilibria, thermodynamics and closely associated subjects. The lectures and hands-on training given during MSIT Winter Schools are conducted by MSIT members and invited experts.

Each year, we hope to build on the successes of the previous years in order to make the Winter School better than before. At the 3rd Winter School, we aim to cover not only basic principles but to go deeper into subject areas in order to give as full an understanding as possible within the time available.
