All career stages (early stage post-doc level onward) are warmly encouraged to attend. Please note there are a limited number of places available and you may be placed on a reserve list of delegates if expressions of interest exceed places.Conference Vision: Our mission for the Metamaterials Conference & Forum 2026 is to bring the metamaterials community together to this flagship event, across academia, field leaders and government representatives. The annual Conference & Forum supports the collaborative academic community at the heart of the UK Metamaterials Network. Through the event the community shapes the future strategy for metamaterials in the UK offering a unique event creating a confluence of domains building towards a self-sustaining metamaterials ecosystem. This three day event aims to enhance the UK's leadership in science and innovation.Format: In person only. The conference & forum will be based on keynote talks to introduce the respective topics, round-table and panel discussions. Individual scientific work and demonstrators will be displayed in the evening showcase sessions.Scientific Interest:This Metamaterials UK Conference & Forum is not a traditional subject-specific event with a focus on technical talks.It aims to give an UK overview of the breadth of metamaterials research to foster awareness and innovative ideas to tackle large-scale materials and technology challenges of the future.We would very much like to encourage participants who would like to learn more about metamaterials research outside of their own scientific area, to plant the seeds for new approaches that may bring experts together who currently don't know about each other's capabilities.We therefore hope for attendance of all conference & forum participants at the various sessions.Demonstrators & PostersDuring the event, there will be key note talks to outline our key challenges, and largely discussion group based work to foster ideas development and collaboration formation.We deem it critical that attendees can highlight at least one key element of their current work, and that they can make their group's expertise available at a glance. Therefore, we encourage all participants to: a) bring some showcase material, e.g. a technical poster, a demonstrator, a simulation, other; b) submit an abstract about the work that is being undertaken by the group you are working in/leading.*If you wish to submit a poster or demonstrator to the Conference & Forum Showcase, please complete this Poster or Demonstrator Template for inclusion in the booklet. You may submit this by emailing it to info@metamaterials.networkA dedicated showcase session is planned for 16th June (Tuesday) night.*If multiple members of one group register an interest, please liaise with each other to identify who will submit this on behalf of the whole group to avoid varying texts from the same place. The information will be printed in the conference booklet to provide an easy access overview to the capabilities of the participants.---------------Please see the conference website for further information on the conference & forum content and commitment fees (to be confirmed): .
