ISMR

International Symposium on MATERIALS FROM RENEWABLES

October 18-21, 2026 | Benguerir

Scope

The symposium aims to advance research and innovation in renewable-resource-based materials by fostering international scientific and industrial exchange on their synthesis, characterization, processing, and sustainable applications. The symposium targets aspects of fundamental and applied research related to renewable and biobased materials, including their applications in all fields of engineering, medicine, food, and climate security. ISMR serves as a key platform for discussions on biobased materials, a rapidly growing area as researchers and industries increasingly seek alternatives to petroleum-based products. The attendees gather to exchange ideas on the latest trends in advanced sustainable materials derived from natural and renewable sources. ISMR's main goal is to provide an opportunity for prominent researchers working on sustainable materials for discussing/exchanging information focused on recent efforts devoted to making materials from renewable resources, such as plant oils, natural polymers, biomass, etc., as well as on challenges related to their characterization, processing, and application.
