It is our sincere pleasure and great honor to announce the 1st International Online Conference on Fractal and Fractional: Theoretical Foundations and Interdisciplinary Applications (IOCFF 2026), which will be held online by the MDPI open access journal Fractal and Fractional (ISSN: 2504-3110; Impact Factor: 3.3) from 13 to 15 April 2026.
Fractals and fractional calculus have changed the way we model and understand complexity across mathematics, physics, engineering, and beyond. Fractals offer a powerful framework for describing irregular, self-similar structures found in nature and science, while fractional calculus provides a flexible and accurate tool for modeling memory effects, anomalous diffusion, and nonlocal phenomena. Together, they have provided fundamental theories and inspired innovative applications in diverse fields, ranging from fluid dynamics and materials science to finance, biology, and data analysis. Their impact continues to expand in the study of complex systems in the modern scientific landscape.
IOCFF 2026 will focus on recent theoretical methods, advanced computational algorithms, and emerging applications of fractals and fractional calculus. Through analytical innovations, numerical methods, or interdisciplinary research, the conference aims to highlight the growing role of these fields in addressing complex problems across science and engineering. We invite you to join a dynamic exchange of ideas that reflects both the rich foundations and the evolving future of fractal and fractional research.
IOCFF 2026 will allow you to share and discuss your most recent research findings with a vibrant worldwide community of scientists and engineers in the field. Moreover, numerous internationally renowned speakers will share their current state-of-the-art research during the event through six live sessions, including comprehensive Q&A segments.
We look forward to having you join us at this exciting event.
Best regards,
