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.

The seminar »Understanding and Experiencing Modern Batteries Firsthand« provides a thorough and practical understanding of modern battery technologies with a special focus on lithium-ion batteries. Participants will gain a clear introduction to the fundamental electrochemical processes, learn about the structure and function of key cell components, and gain insights into current materials, cell chemistries, and testing methods.

The aim of the two-day seminar is to convey the fundamentals of the tape casting and slot die processes and the further processing of the resulting green films or layers into multilayer structures.

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.
