Events in Dresden

On June 26, 2026, the Fraunhofer Institutes in Dresden will open their doors again. Experience science up close, try things out for yourself, and talk to researchers—all this is possible. Stay tuned.

Trends and New Developments in Laser Technology

The five days workshop aims to bring together undergraduate and PhD students in an intensive study program on fundamental and applied aspects of laser technology. 

ISPA is the leading international platform for piezoceramic composite technologies and their role in advancing component performance in extreme conditions and mission-critical applications. The 2026 year’s theme, "Where Frontiers Meet" highlights the intersection of pioneering materials and frontier applications – from orbit to ocean, from micro-sensing and actuation to structural health monitoring.

Shaping the Future of Dry Battery Electrode Processing

The Dry Coating Forum is a forum for material suppliers, equipment manufacturers, cell makers and end users to exchange information about current trends, developments and challenges in the field of dry coating technologies.

The 9th Industry Workshop on Alkaline-Based Electrolysis aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in alkaline electrolysis (AEL) and anion exchange membrane electrolysis (AEMEL), while also addressing upcoming technological advancements and future development pathways.

Lithium-sulfur batteries are envisaged to enable energy storage devices with high specific energy at low material cost. The recent research provides significant progress in terms of materials for active and passive cell components as well as on understanding of mechanisms finally leading to improved Li-S cell performance.

The European School for Young Materials Scientists aims to bring together young scientists, mainly PhD students, working in the fields of Materials Science, Electronic Materials, Quantum materials, Nanoscale Materials, Nanoanalysis, Multi-scale materials characterization, Computational material science, AI-based materials science as well as Microscopy.

The 6th Correlative Materials Characterization Workshop will bring together communities from Materials, Electronics, Life and Computer Science, to discuss and explore topics of common interests.

The scope of the event includes all relevant techniques used for correlative characterization. The main focus will be on Light Microscopy, Electron Microscopy, X-ray Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy.
