Welcome to the Materials Europe 2026 Conference, hosted at Politecnico di Milano, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, Milan, Italy, from 15–17 July 2026.

This marks the third edition of Materials Europe and the first to be held in Italy, continuing the growth of the conference following previous successful editions in Valencia and Madrid. Born in Oceania (Australia) several years ago, the Materials Conference series has evolved into an internationally recognized platform for advancing scientific collaboration and innovation. With its continued expansion across Europe, the conference aims to strengthen its legacy as a hub for interdisciplinary discussions and groundbreaking research in the field of Materials Science.

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my pleasure to welcome participants, including renowned researchers, industry experts, early-career scientists, and students. Your presence and contributions are the driving force behind the success of this event, and we are deeply grateful for your participation and confidence in our vision.
