MATERIAIS 2025, joining the XXII Congresso da Sociedade Portuguesa de Materiais, the XIII International Symposium on Materials, and the III Iberian Meeting on Materials Science, will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, July 1 to 3, 2025.



MATERIAIS 2025 offers a high quality scientific program, exploring the latest scientific and technological developments in Materials Science and Engineering, and related areas, and bridging different knowledge domains under the main topic of new approaches for Reshaping the Future.
MATERIAIS 2025 is an ideal forum for scientists, developers, engineers, and companies to share their latest achievements, cutting-edge solutions, and views in Materials Science and Engineering. The meeting will cover all areas of Materials, from Functional Materials, to Structural Materials and Materials Processing, Characterization and Modelling.
MATERIAIS 2025 will be hosted by Instituto Superior Técnico in the sunny city of Lisbon, the westernmost capital city of mainland Europe’s, and the only along the Atlantic coast. The history of the city is strongly connected to the sea, and is nowadays a potpourri of unusual character and charm, where over 800 years of cultural influences mingle with modern trends and lifestyles. It presents the perfect scenario to promote fruitful scientific discussions and foster ties within the Materials community.



MATERIAIS 2025 continues the long-standing and well established MATERIAIS conferences, organized every two years by the Portuguese Materials Society (SPM). It will be the twentieth-second National and the thirteenth International Materials Conference organized by SPM. In 2025 it returns to its origins, since the inaugural one was held in Lisbon in 1983. This edition is sponsored by our Spanish colleagues from SOCIEMAT (Sociedad Española de Materiales) in a joint organization of the III Iberian Meeting on Materials Science.
MATERIAIS 2025 will offer an outstanding technical and scientific program, with a graduate school, plenary and invited talks, and over 120 oral communications chosen from the submitted abstracts. Also, all participants are invited to submit poster communications that will be discussed in dedicated sessions. Prizes will be awarded to the best poster and oral presentations by PhD students.
During the meeting, SPM will award the SPM Career and Recognition Award (Prémio SPM de Carreira e Reconhecimento). The purpose of this award is to recognize, encourage and promote excellency of all activities regarding teaching, development, research, innovation and industrial production in the area of Materials in Portugal.
We expect MATERIAIS 2025 to bring together a large attendance, fostering the interaction to promote new collaborations and new ideas for Reshaping the Future!
We look forward to seeing you in Lisbon in July 2025
