ISPA is the leading international platform for piezoceramic composite technologies and their role in advancing component performance in extreme conditions and mission-critical applications. The 2026 year’s theme, "Where Frontiers Meet" highlights the intersection of pioneering materials and frontier applications — from orbit to ocean, from micro-sensing and actuation to structural health monitoring.

Under the theme “Innovations for Our Future,” experts from five Fraunhofer institutes will present the latest technologies and developments at Innotrans 2026 in Berlin from September 22 to 25.

Shaping the Future of Dry Battery Electrode Processing The Dry Coating Forum is a forum for material suppliers, equipment manufacturers, cell makers and end users to exchange information about current trends, developments and challenges in the field of dry coating technologies.

Europe is investing billions in expanding its semiconductor capabilities. But technological sovereignty isn’t achieved solely through new factories and funding programs—what matters most is how quickly innovations make their way from research to industrial applications. This is exactly where “FIRST by FMD” comes in. With this new European forum for decision-makers and trendsetters, the Research Factory for Microelectronics Germany (FMD) is bringing together leading representatives from industry, research, and politics. FIRST—Fast Innovation through Research in Semiconductor Technologies—will take place on September 30 and October 1, 2026, at the EUREF Campus in Berlin.

Lithium-sulfur batteries are envisaged to enable energy storage devices with high specific energy at low material cost. The recent research provides significant progress in terms of materials for active and passive cell components as well as on understanding of mechanisms finally leading to improved Li-S cell performance.

The 2nd International LAwave User Meeting is a virtual event that for the first time will bring together experts from the coating and material science community that are already benefitting from the LAwave technology and those who are interested in it.

The 2026 European School for Young Materials Scientists aims to bring together young scientists, mainly PhD students, working in the exciting fields of Materials Science, Electronic Materials, Quantum materials, Nanoscale Materials, Nanoanalysis, Multi-scale materials characterization, Computational material science, AI-based materials science as well as Microscopy.

The CMC 2026 workshop will bring together communities from Materials, Electronics, Life and Computer Science, to discuss and explore topics of common interests.
