The Materials Research Society of Kenya was established in 2018 and registered under the Registrar of societies with the registration number SOC/76880 and certificate number 50282. MRSK was registered by a visionary group of scientists who shared the belief that their professional interests were broader in scope than existing single-discipline societies and that a new interdisciplinary organization was needed. These were drawn from Kenya Education Network(KENET) (www.kenet.or.ke) /Industry /universities/ , National Commission for Science Technology and Innovation (NACOSTI) (www.nacosti.go.ke) converged to develop domestic new material research using wide variety of knowledge in Physics, Chemistry, Nanoscience and nanotechnology, Geology, Geochemistry, Geophysics, Metallurgy, Nuclear Physics, Nanomedicine, Mineralogy, Computational Materials broadly classified as Material Science. This was aimed at building Kenya’s capacity to engage in as well as activation of industry-university technology exchange in materials science and engineering fields.
