Upcoming MDPI Conferences (1)
Athens, Greece
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to welcome you to Coatings 2026: Safe and Sustainable by Design Surface Treatment and Coatings, which will take place in Athens, Greece, from 20–22 April 2026. This conference aims to bring together researchers, industry professionals, and experts from around the world to share the latest advancements, exchange ideas, and foster collaborations in the field of Surface Finishing.
The surface finishing industry faces growing challenges, including stricter environmental regulations such as REACH and the EU Green Deal, increasing the need to adopt cleaner, more sustainable technologies. By joining forces across research, policy, and supply chains, we can create coatings that meet tomorrow’s standards while protecting our planet.
Core domains of research will be covered by the following tracks:
- Advances in metallic and metal matrix composite coatings
- Advances in organic and hybrid coatings
- Advances in methods and equipment
- Surface finishing for additive manufacturing
- Application of the SSbD framework on the surface finishing industry
- Advances in thermal spraying
- Thin film technologies and applications
- Anodizing of light alloys
- AI tools and simulations
- Phasing out substances of concern from the surface finishing industry
Through keynote lectures, oral presentations, and poster sessions, our program is designed to offer an engaging platform for discussing cutting-edge research, emerging challenges, and future directions in the field.
