You can submit as many abstracts to the conference for review as you would like.
If, after the review by the committee, you have more than one paper accepted for the conference, you will need to register to attend and pay an additional paper fee for each additional paper (i.e., for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th papers – not the 1st). Please note this is for papers that you are the presenting author of, not papers that you are co-author of.
Once the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors must register for the conference and present the paper at the conference.
Abstracts of all accepted contributions will be included within the abstract system which will be distributed to all registered conference participants.
Successfully submitted abstracts will be acknowledged with an electronic receipt including an abstract reference number, which should be quoted in all correspondence. Allow at least 2 hours for your receipt to be returned to you.
For revisions or queries regarding papers already submitted
If you do not receive acknowledgment for your abstract submission or you wish to make any essential revisions to an abstract already submitted, please DO NOT RESUBMIT your abstract, as this may lead to duplication. Please email the Content Coordinatoropens in new tab/window (Please do not email credit card information under any circumstances) with details of any revisions or queries. Please quote your reference number if you have one.
Please do not email credit card information under any circumstances.
Awards
Accepted poster submissions are eligible for our Best Poster Awards with 3 winners per topic track, evaluated and voted for by your peers. Finalists will be judged by a committee of experts.
All twelve winners will be announced at the closing ceremony.
Accepted contributed talks are eligible for four Best Oral Talk Awards - one for each topic track. For more information on how to apply visit the Awards Page.
Travel Awards
Four travel awards are available for Materials Today 2027 and include the following:
€500.00 EUR towards associated travel costs
Complimentary registration
Compliment conference dinner ticket
The aim of the travel awards is to offer students the opportunity to attend the conference, to interact with leading experts in materials science community, who would otherwise be unlikely to have it.
In order to qualify for a travel award, the following criteria must be met:
Undergraduate/graduate student
Affiliation with an institution located in a lower/middle-income economy (as classified by the World Bankopens in new tab/window)
Abstract accepted as an oral or poster in the conference programme
Application should be made during online abstract submission (by 5 February 2027)
Applications can be made before the proposed abstract has been accepted. However, the award of funding will be conditional on the acceptance of the abstract by the Scientific Committee. Funding cannot be provided if the abstract is not accepted.
