The meeting is held annually and aims to discuss and disseminate current issues related to the scientific knowledge gained by students of the Undergraduate and Postgraduate Program in Materials Science and Engineering – UFPI, as well as other related fields.

The event received 318 entries and 68 abstracts submitted to compete for the best work. Its enrollees were professors, post-doctoral students, masters and undergraduates, as well as technicians and professionals from other regions.
