The 1st International Conference on Transition Metal Applications (ICTMA 2026) aims to bring together researchers, scientists, and industry professionals working on the chemistry, physics, and technological applications of transition metal-doped materials. The conference will provide an interdisciplinary platform for presenting recent advances in fundamental research and practical applications involving transition metals.

The main goal of ICTMA 2026 is to foster collaboration among specialists from different directions focusing on the study of TM-doped nanopowders, transparent ceramics, single crystals, thin films, and glasses. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss new discoveries in the synthesis, characterization, and functional properties of transition-metal systems, as well as their roles in modern technologies.

The conference will also focus on emerging applications of transition metal ions in areas such as lasers, light converters, and phosphorescence. By encouraging dialogue between academic researchers and industry representatives, ICTMA 2026 aims to promote the translation of fundamental scientific knowledge into innovative solutions addressing current scientific and technological challenges.

In addition, ICTMA 2026 will support the development of early-career researchers by providing opportunities for networking, scientific exchange, and presentation of their work. The meeting will serve as a forum for establishing new collaborations and strengthening the international research community working on transition metal science and its applications.
