ICNASA 2026 · MELBOURNE

International Conference on Nanomaterials & Atomaterials Science and Applications

23–26 November 2026 · RMIT University, Melbourne

Four days of ideas, collaboration and discovery at the frontier of atomaterials.

Hosted by RMIT University’s Centre for Atomaterials and Nanomanufacturing

Welcome to ICNASA 2026!

Womin Djeka (Welcome)!

We are thrilled to invite you to the 2026 International Conference on Nanomaterial and Atomaterial Science and Applications (ICNASA), hosted by the Centre for Atomaterials and Nanomanufacturing (CAN) at RMIT University, Melbourne, from November 23–26, 2026. As the world’s first conference dedicated to atomaterials and an annual event since 2019, ICNASA responds to the rapid emergence of atomic-scale science, whose impact now spans multiple disciplines; our aim is to establish a global atomaterial community and advance these technologies to benefit society. This dynamic event brings together global leaders in micro/nano/atomic materials, catalysis, energy storage, optoelectronics, and beyond.

Having hosted a cumulative total of over 2,500 attendees from academia, industry, government, and organizations worldwide, ICNASA serves as a hub for groundbreaking innovations, offering a rich platform for researchers, industry professionals, and students to exchange ideas and collaborate on cutting-edge advancements.

In addition to insightful keynotes and presentations, the conference will feature an Industry Exhibition, including live demonstrations of the latest nanomanufacturing technologies. These sessions are designed to foster partnerships between academia and industry, presenting novel pathways for research commercialisation and societal impact.

ICNASA is not just a conference; it’s a gateway to innovation and collaboration. With attendees spanning academia, industry, and government, the event promotes interdisciplinary exchange and creates value for all—whether you’re an established researcher, an early career scholar, a student, or an industry leader.

Early Career Researcher (ECR) Awards, Travel Awards, and Poster Awards will be announced at the conclusion of Day 2, following a dedicated panel discussion.

We look forward to welcoming you to Melbourne and embarking together on this exciting journey of discovery and innovation.
