Pure science
Structure–property relationships, deformation, fracture and fatigue of foams and lattices — from the cell wall to the bulk, across atomistic and continuum scales.
9th International Conference on Cellular Materials · Call for papers open
Designed at the cell. Performing at the part.
Foams, lattices, honeycombs, scaffolds — topology-defined material properties, from manufacturing and characterisation to modelling and application.
When
25 - 27 Nov 2026
Where
Erlangen & online
From Experts, for Experts
Cellular materials are no longer a niche — they are lightweight structures, energy absorbers, biomedical scaffolds and functional architectures all at once. CellMAT 2026 is the European meeting place where the materials community answers the questions that foams, lattices, honeycombs and porous solids raise across every engineering discipline.
Industrial reality
Lightweight and crash structures, biomedical scaffolds, thermal and acoustic management, filtration and catalysis — what performs, what fails, and why.
Open exchange
Present scientific results, compare characterisation and manufacturing methods, and discuss design strategies for porous and architected materials.
The Conference Topics
From manufacturing routes and additive architectures to imaging, in-situ mechanical testing, multiscale modelling and the mechanical, thermal and functional behaviour of porous and architected solids — the official scope of the CellMAT 2026 program.
From Abstract to Program
Every DGM Conference follows a transparent path from submitted abstracts to a curated scientific program. The review and program work is carried by members of the materials community.
Where CellMAT 2026 Takes Place
The conference, posters and the exhibition all take place on the FAU campus in Erlangen, a short walk from the city centre and Erlangen Hauptbahnhof.
