Materials for Tomorrow is an annually recurring conference, first organized in 2010. It addresses the material challenges of the future in different ways. Themes and format vary from year to year. Regardless of theme, we always strive to make Materials for Tomorrow a relevant meeting arena for academia, industry and other societal actors, where the current research front is in focus. The meeting is sometimes organized only by Materials Science Area of Advance and sometimes in collaboration with other organizations with a joint interest in the theme.
We want Materials for Tomorrow to be a meeting where different perspectives and challenges meet, and where we can highlight all aspects of materials science. Therefore, we always organize a poster exhibition and a photo competition.
If you are interested in proposing a theme for a future Materials for Tomorrow, please contact us.
Photo Contest
