ICFM 2021 : The 2nd International Conference on Functional Materials

Cavtat, Croatia, June 17-21, 2021

Aims and Scope

With success of the International Conference on Functional Materials (ICFM) held at Tohoku University, Japan in 2019, the 2nd ICFM will be held in Cavtat, Croatia, from June 17-21, 2021. The 2nd ICFM provides the best platform for scientists and engineers to present and share their achievements on recent advances in functional materials. This conference will also provide golden opportunities for the delegates to exchange their ideas, and to establish research collaborations as well as to find global partners for future collaborations. We hope that the conference results will lead to significant contributions to the core technology knowledge exchanges in these up-to-date scientific fields.

We cordially invite you to participate to exchange in ICFM.

Announcement!!
