IMMC 2026 – 23rd International Metallurgy and Materials Congress, organized by the UCTEA Chamber of Metallurgical and Materials Engineers’ Training Center (METEM) with the contribution of national academics, will be held simultaneously with the ANKIROS Fair at İstanbul Expo Center between 22-24 October 2026.
This long-established Congress, which has been held since 1975, serves as a valuable platform for academics, researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners from around the world to present the latest scientific and technological innovations.
As Metallurgical and Materials Engineers, we all have a significant opportunity to respect our planet and create lasting value. In this context, the Congress aims to adopt a visionary approach by placing the motto ‘‘Strategic Resources, Critical Steps for Tomorrow’’ at its core, fostering deeper discussions on sustainable metallurgy, critical raw materials, advanced material technologies, and the circular economy, while strengthening collaboration between universities and industry and advancing the exchange and development of ideas. In this context, we invite all national and international stakeholders who wish to contribute to this endeavor to participate in IMMC 2026 with their innovative presentations.
