The NOA group is co-organizing Symposium R, titled “Nanomaterials for the Future: Advancements in Optoelectronics and Sensing”, at the upcoming E-MRS Fall Meeting 2026, to be held from 15–18 September 2025 at the Warsaw University of Technology.
The symposium will bring together leading researchers, innovators, and early-career scientists to explore recent advances in nanomaterials and their impact on next-generation optoelectronic and sensing technologies. These areas are critical for enabling more efficient energy systems, advanced photonic devices, and highly sensitive detection platforms.
The event is co-organized by an international team of experts:
Chun-Yi Chen (Institute of Science Tokyo)
Maria Josè Lo Faro (University of Catania, Main Organizer)
Pedro M. P. Salomé (INL – International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory)
Subhajit Biswas (University College Cork)
The symposium will address key challenges and opportunities in the design, synthesis, and integration of nanomaterials for applications in:
- advanced optoelectronic devices, including photovoltaics and light-emitting systems;
- high-performance sensing platforms for environmental, biological, and chemical detection.
By fostering interdisciplinary exchange across materials science, physics, chemistry, and engineering, the symposium aims to accelerate the translation of fundamental research into practical technologies with societal and industrial impact. As highlighted in previous editions, advances in nanofabrication, characterization, and modelling are central to unlocking the full potential of these materials .
The E-MRS Fall Meeting is one of Europe’s leading conferences in materials science, providing a platform for presenting cutting-edge research, establishing collaborations, and strengthening links between academia and industry .
Abstract submission for the symposium is open until 2 June 2026. Further information is available on the official symposium webpage:
