 The THIRD CIRCULAR

Energy and materials technologies are among the most dynamic areas in both fundamental research and industrial transformation, underpinning critical sectors ranging from transport, aviation, and oil exploration to renewable energy and national power grids. To facilitate frontier exploration and academic exchange in the fields, we cordially invite experts from worldwide institutions and industries to attend the Second International Conference on Nano Energy and Technology (ICNEAT-2026) in Shantou from March 27 to March 30, 2026. This event is organized by Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Materials and Technologies for Energy Conversion (MATEC), Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT), assisted by Materials Science and Engineering Department, MDPI, Guangdong Guanghua Sci-Tech Co. and China-Israel Jizhi Technology Co. It will center around the themes of Energy storage, Dielectric materials, Molecular electronics and Spintronics, Inorganic materials under extreme conditions, and AI materials and energy. We welcome you to Shantou, where you can facilitate in-depth academic exchanges and experience the charm of the southern region of China.
