The advancement of materials hinges on our ability to integrate experimental observations with computational approaches across multiple length and time scales. Bridging the gap between atomistic models, mesoscale phenomena and macroscopic material behavior requires robust frameworks for data fusion, validation and predictive modeling.

The ability to efficiently integrate all available, heterogeneous data sources through such a framework is not only a theoretical consideration, but of very practical importance for the applicability of machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches.

The 8th Materials Chain International Conference: “Integrating experimental and simulation data across scales in materials science” addresses these topics and brings together researchers at the forefront of materials characterization, computational modeling and data science.

The conference takes place on 17th of September at the Convention Centre of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Participation is free of charge and registration is open until 4th of September. Contributions for poster presentations can be submitted. The program and further information are available here: https://materials-chain.com/news-events/conferences/mcic-2026/

The conference is jointly organised by Materials Chain, ICAMS (DFG Project 469020538) and RC FEMS.
