Topic: materials research

INCC connects the neuromorphic computing community across neuroscience, physics, materials research and artificial intelligence. The programme combines plenary and invited presentations, contributed research talks, workshops and a characterisation laboratory supported by Advanced Microtesting. Organised by NeuroSYNC and the Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies, with NeuMat and NeuroWare as co-organisers, it brings academic and industrial researchers together to examine brain-inspired computing and build collaborations across the device-to-system ecosystem. Abstracts are due 31 October 2026

The congress examines artificial materials and their effects on waves and transport. It connects engineering, physics, applied mathematics and materials research across electromagnetic, optical, photonic, acoustic, mechanical and coupled physical phenomena. The programme comprises a scientific conference on 13–16 September followed by a doctoral school on 17–18 September, providing opportunities to exchange current results and methods.

Develop AI-based software tools for materials research and scientific computing. The work explores how foundation models and generated code can improve research workflows and computational methods.
