SCiMAN10 will be the tenth annual symposium organized by the Programa Institucional en Ciencia e Ingeniería de Materiales, PICIMA (Materials Science and Engineering Institutional Program), entity that groups the Centro de Investigación en Ciencia e Ingeniería de Materiales, CICIMA (Materials Science and Engineering Research Center), the Centro de Electroquímica y Energía Química, CELEQ (Electrochemistry and Chemical Energy Center) and the Centro de Investigación en Estructuras Microscópicas, CIEMIC (Microscopic Structures Research Center), all belonging to the Universidad de Costa Rica at San José, Costa Rica. It represents an effort to provide to the local and regional scientific and engineering community a place to share results obtained from the research activity in materials science and engineering as well as nanotechnology. Most of the presenters are scientists, engineers and students belonging to local and international universities or laboratories.

The topics usually covered by past symposia were, among others, hot topics like soft condensed matter, biomaterials, composites, nanostructured semiconductors, polymers and graphene.
