Programme
The EAMC 2026 conference will feature a robust scientific agenda, structured into parallel sessions across three days. With over 200 presentations from 50+ countries, the congress will showcase interdisciplinary innovations by leading scientists, industry leaders, engineers, and policymakers across the advanced materials domain.
Program
Key elements include:
The parallel structure enables participants to explore high-priority topics aligned with their interests, fostering impactful collaboration and global knowledge exchange.
The sessions and symposia will run on Central European Time (GMT+2).Delegates are kindly requested to review the program notes before exploring the congress program.
- Plenary and Keynote Lectures
- IAAM Fellow Assembly Sessions on future materials strategies
- Technical Sessions covering energy, biomaterials, AI, smart materials, nanotechnology, and circular economy
- Congress Concluding Session with recognition and outlook
Net Zero Congress Policy
AMC Assemblies is committed to implementing a Net Zero policy for the Congress. The environmental footprint of the three-day event is carefully assessed and managed in line with carbon reduction principles and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Although the venue itself operates on non-renewable energy sources, all other aspects of the Congress – including accommodation, catering, transportation, and event operations; are planned and delivered according to minimum-impact standards. Efforts to reduce emissions, minimize food waste, adopt innovative technologies, and promote responsible everyday choices contribute to the protection of the environment.
Through these climate-smart event practices, we aim to deliver measurable environmental benefits. We invite all participants to support and engage with our journey toward a greener, more sustainable, and more beautiful world.
Program Notes
The European Advanced Materials Congress will take place from 25 – 27 August 2026 aboard the M/S Cinderella, Viking Line, sailing from Stockholm (City of the Nobel Prize and Capital of Sweden) to Helsinki (City of Nokia and Capital of Finland) and back to Stockholm.
- All scientific sessions and lectures will be conducted in English within the onboard conference center.
- The congress will commence with registration and check-in on the M/S Cinderella in Stockholm.
- Social activities will be organized in both Helsinki and Stockholm, led by English-speaking guides, to foster international networking and cultural exchange.
- Please note: This is a tentative program. Topics may be rearranged, replaced, or removed in the final version based on participation and organizational adjustments.
