Abstract Deadline
01 September 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.

⚠ Warning: fraudulent emails targeting conference participants
Scammers have been contacting speakers and participants of the CRISTMas Conference, claiming to act on our behalf. Typically, they ask about your arrival and departure dates and offer to book your hotel or travel, directing you to a form that requests credit card details. In previous years such emails came from travellerpoint(dot)org, but the senders’ names and domains change frequently — please treat any similar approach as a scam regardless of the name used.
Please remember:
- We do not organise hotels or travel for speakers or participants. CRISTMas is organised by academics, for academics. Any email or phone call offering accommodation or travel booking “on behalf of the conference” is fraudulent.
- We will never ask for your credit card details by email or phone. The only official way to register and pay is through our website, via the Registration page.
- All official conference correspondence comes from [email protected]. We will not contact you by phone.
If you receive a suspicious email, do not reply, do not click any links, and do not provide personal or payment information. Please forward it to us at [email protected] — this helps us warn others — and then block the sender.
