The 7th Global Advanced Materials & Surfaces (GAMS 2026) is the premier international forum dedicated to the next generation of material innovation. Held in the heart of Paris from June 17 to 19, 2026, this landmark event serves as a strategic meeting point for a high-caliber community of academic researchers, industrial pioneers, and policy innovators.

As the limitations of traditional materials are reached, GAMS 2026 addresses the full lifecycle of material development—bridging the gap between atomic manipulation and the large-scale deployment of functional surfaces. This edition specifically highlights the emergence of new and functional materials designed for active intelligence, adaptability, and performance.

The global landscape is shifting toward a "design-to-delivery" paradigm. GAMS 2026 is uniquely structured to reflect this evolution, moving beyond traditional material silos to explore how Artificial Intelligence and Digital Twins can accelerate the development of materials that are not only high-performing but also inherently sustainable.

Our mission is to foster a dialogue that addresses the most pressing challenges of 2026, including:

  • The Energy Transition: Developing the surfaces and catalysts necessary for a green hydrogen economy.

  • The Digital Revolution: Engineering the 2D and quantum materials that will power the next era of computing.

  • Biomedical Sovereignty: Advancing drug delivery and biocompatible interfaces for personalized healthcare.

GAMS 2026 Session Tracks

The conference is structured into eight high-impact tracks designed to move from fundamental laboratory discovery to real-world industrial application.

  • Materials Digital Discovery & Intelligent Design
  • Functional, Smart Materials & Responsive Surfaces
  • Surface Engineering& Functionalization
  • Materials Sustainability & Circular Economy
  • Materials for Extreme Environments
