We are delighted to announce Italy as the official Guest Country of MSE 2026, taking place in Darmstadt, Germany. As a nation with a rich tradition in materials science, engineering, and industrial innovation, Italy brings a unique perspective that spans centuries of craftsmanship, advanced research, and cutting-edge technology.

Italy’s participation as Guest Country will highlight its vibrant academic and industrial landscape — from world-class research institutions and leading universities to pioneering companies in metallurgy, ceramics, polymers, composites, and sustainability technologies.

Throughout the congress, special sessions, keynote lectures, and networking formats will spotlight Italian contributions to materials research and foster new opportunities for scientific and industrial collaboration across borders.

Join us in celebrating Italian excellence in materials science at MSE 2026 — where tradition meets innovation on a European stage.
