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.
