Abstract Deadline
01 June 2026
CRISTMas 2026 is a premier interdisciplinary materials conference uniting three established events—SNAIA, POEM, and HERMES—to explore the frontiers of materials research and its impact across science, technology, engineering, medicine, and the arts.
Organized by the STEMM Global Scientific Society, CRISTMas 2026 provides an inclusive platform for academics, industry professionals, and innovators to share breakthroughs and build meaningful collaborations.
Whether your expertise lies in fundamental science, applied engineering, emerging technologies, or interdisciplinary research bridging the sciences and the arts—you’ll find your community and collaborators at CRISTMas 2026.
Conference Scope
CRISTMas brings together a rich programme focused on the full life cycle of materials—from discovery and development to deployment and diagnostics.
New Materials Development:
Advanced Characterisation Methods:
- Fundamental research and theoretical modelling
- Nanomaterials, composites, coatings, and thin films
- Novel synthesis, prototyping, and device fabrication
- Smart and responsive materials
- Metamaterials and metasurfaces
- Lab and Industrial Environment Testing
- Imaging and spectroscopic techniques
- Ultrafast and non-destructive testing
- AI-enhanced material analysis
- Cultural heritage and restoration analysis tools
Our scientific programme features a wide range of topics at the intersection of materials science, innovation, and applications.
In additiona to the General Topics, the Programme also offers the Special Sessions and Symposia organised by world-renowned experts. These curated sessions provide deeper dives into cutting-edge fields.

Warning of a scam from travellerpoint(dot)org
It was brought to our attention, that unfortunately, someone is using the CRISTMAS Conference to perform a scam.
Please be careful if you received emails from travellerpoint(dot)org. The email asks about arrival and departure dates to paris and offers a hotel booking form where they ask for credit card details.
We are doing all we can to avoid this from happening again and are in contact with law enforcement to prohibit them from doing it again.
Please, ignore the emails and do not reply nor click on any link given by them. You can also block the domain on your email client.
The CRISTMAS 2023 is organised by academics and for academics. We are not organising hotels and travels for speakers, so please ignore any emails or phone calls in relation with these things.
We will never try to reach you over phone and will always contact by email [email protected]
In case if you are contacted by third party organisation in relation with this conference, please contact us immediately, as this can be a SCAM. Avoid giving private information to external sources. The only official way to register for the conference is by using our official system, which you can find on the Registration page.
