The International Conference on Materials Innovation 2026 (ICMI26) is developed on the basis of our prior success in organizing a biennial International Symposium on Clean Energy Materials which started since 2017 in Brisbane. The ICMI26 aims to bring together world leading scientists, early and mid career researchers, leaders and stakeholders from academia, government laboratories, and industry working in the field of advanced materials to discuss new and exciting advances for Clean Energy, Catalysis, Bioengineering, and Emerging Technologies. By cultivating diverse perspectives and multidisciplinary engagement, ICMI26 will help drive the sustainable and transformative breakthroughs that our world urgently requires.
We look forward to welcoming you at Brisbane on 13-15th August 2026 and embarking together on this exciting journey of scientific innovation.
Warm Regards
Prof. Lianzhou Wang and Prof. Kristofer Thurecht
