Dear Colleagues and Participants,
It is our great pleasure and privilege to invite you to the inaugural Europe-Korea Advanced Materials and Processing Conference (EKAMP) 2026, which will be held in Dresden, Germany, in July 2026. As a newly launched, independent conference, EKAMP aims to foster close cooperation and drive innovative technological advancements in the fields of advanced materials and processing between Europe and Korea.
Marking a significant milestone, this inaugural conference is organized in strategic partnership with four world-renowned Fraunhofer Institutes based in Dresden: IFAM, IKTS, IWS, and FEP. EKAMP 2026 is designed to transcend conventional academic discourse by serving as a pivotal platform for substantive, cross-border collaboration. Complementing our robust scientific program, an exclusive Lab Tour will grant participants unparalleled access to the state-of-the-art facilities of the participating Fraunhofer Institutes. By integrating high-level academic presentations with direct exposure to advanced technological infrastructures, the conference aims to empower researchers, engineers, and industry leaders to forge solid foundations for future joint research and commercial partnerships between Europe and Korea.
Dresden, a city where Baroque elegance converges seamlessly with cutting-edge scientific excellence, provides the perfect backdrop for shaping the future of materials technology. Your active participation and scholarly contributions are vital to the success of this dynamic conference. We eagerly anticipate welcoming you to Dresden in July 2026 for what promises to be an inspiring and transformative event.
