From February 23 to 27, 2026, the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia (ISSP UL) will organize the 42nd ISSP UL International Scientific Conference, held within the framework of the 84th Scientific Conference of the University of Latvia. Each year, the ISSP UL conference brings together researchers, students, and collaboration partners to share the latest research results, scientific achievements, and the Institute’s future plans.
The conference serves as an open platform where ISSP UL researchers present their ongoing work and most recent results across a broad spectrum of materials science, physics, and applied technologies. The event regularly attracts participants from other Latvian and international research institutions, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and strengthening scientific networks beyond institutional and national borders.
A special emphasis is placed on the professional growth of young researchers as students and early-career scientists can present their research, receive constructive feedback from experienced colleagues, and strengthen their scientific communication skills.
The conference covers topics such as nanotechnologies, photonics, sensors, optical and organic materials, materials for energy applications, micro and nanofabrication, thin films and coatings, as well as various others subjects on material structure, theory, and device prototyping.
