Advancing materials, together.
ICPMAT brings the international materials science and physics community together to explore advanced materials, their physical properties and their applications.
The series began in 2006 through collaboration involving Shanghai University, the University of Toyama and the Japan Institute of Metals. Its research interests connect fundamental understanding with practical applications, spanning raw, structural and functional materials.
Aims and objectives
- Share fundamental and applied research on advanced materials.
- Connect materials properties with processing, characterization and applications.
- Encourage scientific discussion and lasting international research collaborations.
In 2027, the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering at Kyungpook National University hosts the conference in Daegu, Republic of Korea.
Scientific scope
These broad research areas reflect the scope of previous ICPMAT conferences. They provide background to the series; the detailed academic sessions for 2027 remain to be finalized.
- Metallurgical engineering
- Structural and functional materials
- Materials characterization and instrumentation
- Materials processing and engineering
- Computational materials science
- Materials and nanotechnology
Confirmed 2027 session topics will be published in the Academic Sessions section below.
