History
IOM3 was formed from the merger of the Institute of Materials and the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy in June 2002. Its roots go back to the Iron and Steel Institute which was established in 1869. It received Royal Charters in 1899 and 1975. IOM3 has had many mergers along the way. In 2019, IOM3 celebrated a major milestone in its history - 150 since the formation of the Iron and Steel Institute – with a series of commemorative events and activities.
