We are pleased to announce the Call for Special Sessions and Symposia Proposals for CRISTMAS 2025, the flagship event of the STEMM Global Scientific Society, bringing together three established conferences SNAIA, POEM, and HERMES.

Special sessions and symposia are an integral part of the CRISTMAS conference programme. They provide a focused forum to spotlight the most innovative, timely, and impactful topics in the field of novel materials, both in fundamental science and industrial application.

Organising your own session offers a unique opportunity to:

  • Network with fellow experts, collaborators, and rising researchers in your field

  • Join the CRISTMAS 2025 Programme Committee and contribute to the strategic development of the event
