XX Electroceramics Conference - call for abstracts

On behalf of the European Ceramics Society and the International Electroceramics Committee, it is our great pleasure to announce that the 20TH JUBILEE EDITION OF THE ELECTROCERAMICS CONFERENCE will be held on 12-15, OCTOBER 2026. and the Autumn school on 10-11, October 2026. at the University of Novi Sad, Serbia.

The biennial ELECTROCERAMICS CONFERENCE SERIES WAS ESTABLISHED IN THE LATE 1980S and represents one of the central international platforms for academic and industrial researchers to discuss and share the recent developments, discoveries, and emerging trends in the field of electroceramic materials and applications. Four plenary and up to 40 invited speakers will be included in the Programme and the Conference will cover the recent advancements in different electrocreamic fields, such as: Emerging phenomena in electroceramics, Modelling, Novel synthesis and processing methods, Advanced characterization techniques of electroceramic materials and structures, Structure-properties relationship, and Applications of electroceramic materials and structures (piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, thermoelectrics, ferromagntics, multiferroics, varistors, ion&mixed ionic-electronic conductors, materials for energy storage and conversion, spintronics, actuators, sensors, transducers, etc.). In addition, as the 20TH JUBILEE EDITION OF THE ELECTROCERAMICS CONFERENCE, this event also offers a unique opportunity to look back at how far the field has come and to celebrate the people who helped shape it. Part of the program will be dedicated to recalling the contributions of renowned researchers whose work laid the foundations of modern electroceramics.

AUTUMN SCHOOL

AUTUMN SCHOOL ON ADVANCED 2D AND THIN-FILM MATERIALS: PROCESSING, DEVICE FABRICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION, 10-11 October 2026, BioSense Institute, University of Novi Sad 

40 GRANTS OF 500 € FOR STUDENTS ATTENDING THE AUTUMN SCHOOL AND CONFERENCE The school will include four laboratory sessions designed to complement the lecture program through direct practical exposure to key experimental methods used in the field of 2D - materials (thin films, Mxenes, graphene, TMD). The laboratory sessions will cover: clean room
processing techniques such as physical vapor deposition (PVD), ICP-CVD, and focused ion beam (FIB), the synthesis of 2D materials in a chemical laboratory environment, fundamentals of field-effect transistors (FETs) with a focus on the integration of materials into devices, device characterization and evaluation of material impact, as well as the characterization by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

PUBLICATION

A Special Issue of the journal "Open Ceramics" (IF2=2.8) will be published after the Conference and will contain the peer-reviewed papers presented at the Conference.

Looking forward to meeting you in Novi Sad
