Poster Presentations
In addition to oral presentations, poster presentations will also be offered. As part of this poster exhibition, which will be held in the foyer of the ICM, participants will present their key research findings or project data on A0 posters. The poster exhibition will be open to all conference attendees, visitors, and exhibitors during the exhibition period.
The LOPEC Poster Session is scheduled to take place on Wednesday afternoon. This will afford the opportunity to engage in direct discourse with participants, address their inquiries, and establish valuable contacts.
Your Publication in the Scientific Journal Flexible and Printed Electronics™
In 2026, the Scientific Board of the LOPEC Conference will continue its partnership with the multidisciplinary scientific journal Flexible and Printed Electronics™. This journal publishes the latest research findings on flexible, plastic, stretchable, adaptable, and printed electronic components.
As part of this partnership, the FPE Journal is offering you the opportunity to publish a specialized article:
- Be part of a leading journal in the world of flexible and printed electronics
- Free publication for all, with Open Access options available
- Enjoy a fair and fast peer review process that gets your research out there quickly
- Society-owned: all proceeds go back into supporting physics research, education, and outreach worldwide
