Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to participate in the 6th International Online Conference on Nanomaterials (IOCN 2027), taking place virtually via sciforum.net.
Nanomaterials continue to stand at the forefront of modern scientific discovery and technological innovation. Driven by their remarkable physical and chemical properties, developments in this field are transforming industries worldwide, ranging from next-generation electronics and sustainable energy storage to targeted therapeutics, environmental remediation, and AI-accelerated materials design.
IOCN 2027 serves as a global virtual forum designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, showcase cutting-edge research, and spark insightful discussion among scholars, industry experts, and emerging researchers.
This year's scientific program is structured around seven key thematic sessions:
S1. Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology;
S2. Energy and Catalysis-Related Nanotechnology;
S3. Nanophotonics, Nanoelectronics, Nanosensors and Devices;
S4. Modeling and Simulation for Nanotechnology;
S5. Environmental Nanoscience and Nanotechnology;
S6. Synthesis, Characterization, and Properties of Nanomaterials;
S7. AI-Driven Nanomaterials Science.
Contributors will also have the opportunity to publish expanded research papers in a dedicated Special Issue of Nanomaterials (ISSN: 2079-4991, Impact Factor: 4.8).
We look forward to receiving your valuable submissions and to engaging with you during the conference!
Warm regards,
Prof. Dr. Eugenia Valsami-Jones
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Birmingham, UK

Q1. Are there any discounts available for attendees registering?
Discounts available are listed here.
Q2. Why can't I register for the free Non-presenting listener option?
The free Non-presenting listener registration type will only be made available after the Abstract Acceptance Notification deadline on 28 July 2027.
Q3. Is there a fee to submit an abstract?
Abstract submission for IOCN 2027 is free-of-charge. However, fees apply for registration to formally present your work, receive a formal certificate, be eligible for awards, participate in the conference.
Any abstracts not registered by 27 August 2027 will be automatically withdrawn from the program. Once an abstract is withdrawn, it can no longer be published in the proceedings or viewed in the conference gallery.
Q4. Can I present my work or publish my abstract if I register as a "Non-presenting Listener"?
Registration as a Non-presenting Listener is intended for attendees who wish to observe the sessions only. Please note that this category does not include opportunities for oral/poster presentations, inclusion in the conference proceedings, or the issuance of a presentation certificate.
To ensure your work is presented and included in the official program, please upgrade to the appropriate registration here by 27 August 2027 to avoid automatic withdrawal of your submission.
Q5. What are the supported payment methods and credit card types?
We accept payments in Swiss francs (CHF), Euros (EUR), US Dollars (USD), Pounds Sterling (GBP), Japanese Yen (JPY) and Canadian Dollars (CAD) via VISA, MasterCard, Maestro, American Express, Diners Club, Discover and China UnionPay. We also accept payments over Alipay+ in Euros (EUR), and over WeChat in Euros (EUR) and Swiss Francs (CHF).
We also accept wire (bank) transfer. Please ensure that transfer fees are paid by you as the “sender”; do not select “shared” fees or fees paid by the “beneficiary” or “recipient” in order that MDPI receives the full invoiced amount. We prefer to receive payment in CHF, but also accept payments in EUR, USD, GBP, JPY and CAD.
Q6. What is the required file format for poster submissions?
All accepted abstracts are eligible for a digital poster display. Please upload your poster as a PDF file via your author dashboard. All uploaded posters will be displayed in the Poster Gallery section on the conference website from the start of the event, where participants can view and comment during the conference.
More information on the template can be found at the Instruction for Authors section.
Q7. I cannot find the option or link to upload my poster. When and how can I upload it?
Only the submitting author has access to the “upload” function on Sciforum. If you cannot upload your file, please email us along with your Sciforum ID to iocn@mdpi.com.
Please upload your file to the Sciforum platform before the conference begins (before 3 September 2027).
Q8. Will I receive a Certificate of Participation? How and when will the certificates be issued?
All participants who have completed their paid registration and attended the live sessions are entitled to a certificate after the conference.
