Why IAAM Week
Why IAAM launched IAAM Week
IAAM Week responds to a simple reality: major scientific and societal challenges increasingly sit between disciplines, sectors and institutions.
Why now
Energy transition depends on advanced materials, AI, manufacturing and finance. Future healthcare combines biomaterials, diagnostics, digital systems and robotics. Industrial decarbonisation requires science, engineering, policy, capital and deployment partners. IAAM Week is designed to make those communities easier to connect.

What IAAM Week is designed to achieve
- Increase high-quality interdisciplinary scientific exchange.
- Create pathways between research and technology deployment.
- Connect research organisations with industry, founders and investors.
- Strengthen international institutional partnerships.
- Give students and early-career researchers access to wider scientific and professional networks.
- Support credible technology pathways for sustainability and net-zero development.
Scientific integrity
Programme selection, abstract review and scientific recognition must remain independent of sponsorship or commercial participation. Partner visibility should support the community without determining scientific outcomes.
