This page presents an overview of all confirmed speakers at Materials for Tomorrow 2025, including talk titles and abstracts. The content is updated continuously.
To highlight the breadth of materials science and make Materials for Tomorrow a true meeting place for different perspectives and challenges, we also arrange a poster exhibition in the Volvo Foyer. Here, PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers present their work – and compete for the Materials Science Poster Award.
Poster abstracts
Here you can find all the conference poster abstracts (numbered). The posters are also on display outside the conference hall.
