The inaugural Meso-Bio-Nano (MBN) Science Forum 2026 will take place from 31 August to 4 September 2026 in Oldenburg, Germany. The conference is jointly organised by the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg and the MBN Research Center.
The MBN Science Forum is a new interdisciplinary conference dedicated to the rapidly developing field of Meso-Bio-Nano (MBN) Science, which studies the structure formation and dynamics of animate and inanimate matter at the nano- and mesoscale up to the macroscale. The forum builds upon the well-established conference series "International Symposia on Atomic Cluster Collisions" (ISACC) and "Dynamics of Systems on the Nanoscale" (DySoN), which have served as important platforms for scientific exchange in this research area for many years.
In recent years, the MBN Science area has expanded significantly beyond the scope of the DySoN and ISACC conference series. Therefore, starting from 2026, the MBN Science Forum will encompass the entire relevant research area and provide a broader interdisciplinary platform for scientific discussions and collaboration.
The MBN Science Forum 2026 will focus on research topics related to several ongoing European projects coordinated by the MBN Research Center: the MSCA Doctoral Network "MultiScale phenomena in Radiation Damage" (MS-RADAM), the Staff Exchanges project "Post-irradiation multiscale dynamics of materials" (PRISMA), and the COST Innovators Grant "INnovative DIgital COntrol for 3D Nanoprinting" (INDICO). These topics are closely connected to theoretical, experimental, computational, and technological research in MBN Science and have traditionally been discussed at the DySoN conferences.
The MBN Science Forum 2026 aims to bring together international experts and young researchers to discuss recent developments, exchange ideas, and strengthen collaboration within the Meso-Bio-Nano Science community.
