CRISTMAS 2025 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 2025 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 2025.

“

This conference not only attracts engaging speakers, but it is also organised to offer excellent opportunities for building collaborations. In 2018, following my talk, Prof David Andrews rose up with a question and, since then, we have written several papers and grant applications together. Our collaboration has been recognised with awards from the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Institute of Physics, and it might not have happened without the organizers’ dedication to bringing scientists together, in this beautiful and historic setting.

This vibrant, intellectually stimulating conference, organized by the top-notch young scientists from around the globe, delivers concentrated frontiers in science and technology of nanomaterials for real-world applications. The attendee gets the full depth and breadth of ideas exchange and networking, avoiding the confusion of a typical, overwhelmingly large, material-science conference. And all that – in a magical atmosphere of the pre-Christmas Paris.

What is the best scientific, social and scientifically social option for a mid-December?
The obvious answer is CRISTMAS – leading topical conference, which welcomes new ideas, promotes new collaborations, gives opportunities to young scientists, and… just lovely to attend. I go there 🥳 !

I quite enjoyed the conference. The conference covered a broad range of topics in nanomaterials, and the interactions between people from different disciplines were very stimulating. I would like to thank the organizers for their excellent efforts.

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.
