META 2026, Dublin
Program
Four days of plenary lectures, keynotes, special sessions, symposia, contributed presentations and poster discussions across the frontiers of metamaterials and photonics.
Scientific Themes
Engineered electromagnetic media, flat optics, tunable and reconfigurable metasurfaces, nonreciprocal and spatiotemporal systems.
Periodic and quasi-periodic photonic structures, high-Q cavities, slow light, topological photonics and integrated platforms.
Nanoantennas, field enhancement, nanoscale spectroscopy, hot-carrier physics, photocatalysis and near-field imaging.
Quantum states of light, single-photon sources and detectors, quantum interfaces, integrated quantum circuits and quantum sensing.
Strong and ultrastrong coupling, nonlinear and ultrafast phenomena, optomechanics and structured photonic environments.
Acoustic, mechanical and thermal metamaterials, inverse design, AI-driven photonics and emerging interdisciplinary concepts.

Program Formats
Flagship 35-minute lectures addressing major advances and new directions.
30-minute invited lectures by internationally recognized researchers.
20-minute presentations within special sessions, symposia or the META Quantum Workshop.
15-minute presentations within the technical program.
A poster is an excellent way to present your results, with 40 minutes of direct discussion with interested researchers and eligibility for a Best Poster Award.
If you request an oral presentation, decisions are communicated in two stages. The first email confirms whether your paper has been accepted. After the program is drafted, a second email announces whether it has been assigned to an oral or poster session. Assignments reflect scientific content, thematic fit, program balance, diversity and available time—not quality alone.
