The 22nd International Conference on Diffusion in Solids and Liquids (DSL2026) will be held from 22 to 26 June 2026 on the beautiful island of Rhodes, Greece. Recognized as a premier event in the field, DSL2026 will once again serve as a dynamic forum for the latest advances in diffusion and its multifaceted applications. This well-established conference brings together a unique and balanced blend of participants from both academia and industry, creating a stimulating environment for meaningful discussions, knowledge exchange, and the cultivation of new collaborations within the themes of mass transfer, heat transfer, microstructure and properties, nanodiffusion, nanostructured materials, and alternative energy.
The conference Special Session 1 “FLUID FLOW, ENERGY TRANSFER, AND DESIGN (SS1)” welcomes contributions on analytical, computational (CFD), and experimental aspects of fluid flow and energy transfer relevant to science and technology. It is intended as a platform for exchanging experiences and information, provoking academic thought and promoting the further development of research in these disciplines.
Selected papers from DSL2026 SS1 will be published in a new dedicated Special Issue of the international journal Applied Sciences (MDPI). The Special Issue welcomes both submissions of papers presented at the conference session and external contributions of new manuscripts on the topics of fluid flow and energy transfer.

Since 2020, Meta-MAT.org has been organizing a highly successful series of online webinars in response to the global shift toward virtual engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic. These webinars have helped maintain strong scientific interaction and knowledge exchange within the metamaterials community at a time when in-person events were not feasible.
Over the past few years, MetaMAT has hosted around 200 invited speakers and built a vibrant network of more than 1200 active and registered followers from across the globe. These events have featured leading experts and emerging voices in the field, covering a wide range of topics related to acoustic, mechanical, and thermal metamaterials, as well as the mathematical and numerical frameworks that support their development.
With the return of safe in-person gatherings, we believe the time is ripe to organize an onsite conference. This event will aim to reinvigorate our community, deepen collaborations, and stimulate fresh discussions around the theoretical, experimental, and applied aspects of metamaterials. It will serve as a natural and timely evolution of MetaMAT’s mission to connect and advance the field through collective knowledge-sharing.
The conference will focus on the following:
- Acoustic, mechanical, and thermal metamaterials;
- Topological effects in structured media;
- Wave reciprocity and non-reciprocity;
- Enriched continuum models and generalized elasticity;
- Mathematical modeling and numerical simulations;
- PT symmetry;
- Non-Hermitian physics;
- Space-time media.
