2027
The International Conference on Materials Science & Nanotechnology. A gathering of the field's most consequential work - presented by the people doing it.
Researchers from more than 300 institutions have shaped previous editions. A selection of those represented.
A field advancing at the speed of collaboration.
The 8th International Conference on Materials Science & Nanotechnology, a Three-days scientific event is scheduled for 18–20 October 2027, in Budapest, Hungary. Future Materials 2027 will feature a scientific program divided into four main symposiums;
-
01Future Biomaterials - Biomedical Applications, Biomimetic Engineering, Toxicity, 3D and 4D Printing
-
02Future Materials for Energy and Environment
-
03Materials for Electronics, Optics, and Photonics
-
04Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials
To accelerate materials research by connecting the people advancing it across disciplines and borders.
Work first presented here has gone on to shape journals, patents, and products worldwide.
Rigorous, curated, and genuinely interdisciplinary - from atoms to manufacturing scale.
110+ institutions across 35+ countries, in one room, for three days.
Reasons researchers return, year after year.
Networking
Curated introductions and small-format sessions that turn a shared interest into a working collaboration.
Publication
A direct path from presentation to peer-reviewed proceedings and partner special issues.
Industry
Meet R&D leaders from the companies translating materials science into products.
Awards
Recognition for outstanding early-career and senior contributions across every track.
Career growth
A mentorship programme, recruiting sessions, and visibility among the field’s leaders.
Innovation
First looks at instrumentation, methods, and results not yet in print.

Three days, precisely composed.
More than a program. A place where fields meet.
Poster halls that spark collaboration. Evening receptions on the Danube. The unhurried coffee-break conversation that becomes next year's paper.
Seven editions of momentum.
The largest edition to date, with 200+ posters and the inaugural Future Materials Awards.
“I thoroughly enjoyed the conference and hope to attend another in the future.”
Your work, seen by the field.
