AdvEnMaT-26
The International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer is pleased to announce Advances in Energy Materials and Technologies (AdvEnMaT-26) to take place in Şile, Istanbul, Turkiye in 21-23 October 2026.
CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES
The scientific goal of this conference is to advance research and collaboration in energy and materials science by bringing together experts working on energy storage, energy conversion, sustainable materials, and intelligent technologies. There is a strong global need for efficient, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions. Developing advanced materials and high-performance devices is essential for addressing energy transition, climate change, and resource challenges. Rapid progress in batteries, supercapacitors,photovoltaics, hydrogen technologies, and low-dimensional materials makes this topic both highly important and timely.
The conference is motivated by the need to connect fundamental research, such as defect engineering and advanced characterization, with practical applications and industrial implementation. It aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and accelerate innovation in energy materials and technologies.

Location
Advances in Energy Materials and Technologies (AdvEnMaT-26) will take place at FMV Işık University's campus in Şile, Istanbul. We will use one of the conference salons for the single-track oral presentations. The coffee breaks and poster sessions will take place in the foyer.
The campus is on a hill facing the Black Sea and Şile downtown. Beach access is possible from one of the gates of the campus. The picture below shows one of the dining facilities facing the beach.
The campus is about a 50-minute drive from both airports in Istanbul (IST and SAW). Shuttles from both airports will be arranged at certain times.
Şile is a small town in Istanbul, famous for its sandy beaches and lush forests. Şile Marina has a nice boardwalk (shown below) extending towards one of the long sandy beaches. Visitors enjoy the fish restaurants and cafes along the boardwalk.
Accommodation-related information will appear here soon.
