Carbon-based materials for sustainable energy harvesting and storage technologies
Carbon nanodots and particles
Theory and computational modelling of carbon materials
AI-guided discovery and design of carbon-based materials
Hybrid and interfacial materials combining carbon with oxides, carbides, nitrides, and other advanced materials
Carbon materials in extreme conditions: high pressure, magnetic fields, and temperature extremes
Device concepts and applications of novel carbon materials for electronics, sensors, and beyond
Composites based on carbon nanomaterials
Biomedical applications and safety considerations of carbon nanomaterials
Biocompatible and multifunctional carbon nanomaterials for bioelectronics and tissue engineering
Additive manufacturing and scalable production of carbon nanostructures
Carbon materials for decarbonization and environmental remediation
Novel characterisation methods for carbon-based materials, including structural, functional, and operando techniques
Focused Session
A focused session will highlight current trends in data-driven and computational carbon science and build on topics explored in the tutorial session. Led by Miguel Caro (Aalto University), the session will include two eminent speakers in the field and welcomes contributed abstracts on the topic.
Young Scholar Award ICDCM 2026
The ICDCM 2026 Young Scholar Awardโ recognizes predoctoral researchers in the early stage of their career and wishes to offer them an opportunity to highlight their recent results on an international stage through a combination of oral and poster presentations.
The deadline for applications has now passed.
Early Career Researcher Award ICDCM 2026
The ICDCM 2026 Early Career Research Award recognises a postdoctoral researcher whose work, despite being in the early stage of his or her career, has already shown important impact in the field of diamond and carbon materials. The organisation wishes to offer the awardee the opportunity to highlight his or her achievements to date on an international stage through a plenary award presentation.

Supporting publication
Diamond and Related Materialsopens in new tab/windowย is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.
