The submission of abstracts for participants is currently open until February 5, 2026. The conference will take place from 7–11 June 2026 at the Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa. We kindly invite you to submit an abstract presenting your research work and to take part in ESEAC 2026.

i3N has achieved a remarkable milestone in European research by securing funding for two major projects, e-FLOWER and MORPHEUS, under the Horizon Europe program. In a highly competitive call with 70 submissions for only four available slots, i3N’s success in winning two projects means the institute has secured 50% of the total funding available for this specific topic on flexible and stretchable electronics.

We are pleased to welcome João Maciel, Senior Director of R&D and Innovation at EDP’s R&D Center, to NANOMAT-Talks #23.
The seminar, titled “Energy transition challenges: The EDP way,” will take place on May 21 at 14h00, in the Leopoldo Guimarães Amphitheater at CENIMAT|i3N.

We are proud to announce that Professor Elvira Fortunato, a leading researcher at i3N, has been invited to serve as a Patron for the 8th edition of the Caixa Mais Mundo Program, an initiative by Caixa Geral de Depósitos (CGD) dedicated to promoting academic merit and equal opportunities in Higher Education.

On May 14th, at 2:00 PM, we will host NANOMAT Talk #22. We are pleased to welcome Professor Filomena Freitas, from the Chemistry Department at NOVA FCT, for a seminar titled "Microbial Polymers as Biomaterials for Topical Drug Delivery Applications".

No âmbito do ciclo de seminários NANOMAT-Talks, temos o prazer de convidar toda a comunidade para a sessão "Engenharia na Sociedade", apresentada pelo Engenheiro Fernando de Almeida Santos, Bastonário da Ordem dos Engenheiros.
O evento terá lugar no dia 12 de maio, pelas 14h30, na prestigiada Sala da Nau, em Sintra.

On May 5th, at 10:00, i3N hosts NANOMAT-Talk #21 featuring Dr. Daniil Karnaushenko from TU Chemnitz. The talk will focus on "4D mesoscale self-assembled flexible microelectronics," discussing how deterministic shape transformations like folding and rolling are freeing electronic components from 2D constraints. These advancements are pivotal for creating smart surgical tools and electronic skins for next-generation biomedical applications.
