Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to welcome you to the 11th International Symposium on Sensor Science, which will take place in Barcelona, Spain, from 17 to 19 November 2025. This conference aims to bring together top researchers, industry professionals, and experts from around the world to share the latest advancements, exchange ideas, and foster collaborations in the field of sensors. I3S 2025 also strives to encourage the participation of students and early-career researchers, to whom two Best Oral Presentation and two Best Poster Awards of EUR 400 each will be granted.
Over the course of three days, we will explore a wide range of topics, including nanomaterial-based sensors; chemical sensors and biosensors; emerging trends in electrochemical sensing; electronic skin, flexible sensors, and wearables; metal oxide-based gas sensing; plasmonics; and new trends in sensor and e-nose development, through keynote lectures, oral presentations, and poster sessions. Our program is planned to provide an engaging platform for discussing cutting-edge research, emerging challenges, and future directions in the field and in the market, and to encourage networking with fellow attendees.
The conference venue is Casa Convalescència, a modernist gem located in the monumental center of Barcelona. Beyond the scientific sessions, Barcelona offers a vibrant setting to connect with colleagues while enjoying its rich culture, history, and cuisine.
We look forward to an inspiring and productive conference and to welcoming you to the 11th I3S in 2025.
Sincerely,
