On November 4th, we will celebrate the World Materials Day 2026, a special event organized to explore the fascinating connections between materials science, history, and pop culture fiction.
Under the theme «Materials with a Story: From Ancient Mysteries to Fantasy Worlds», the session will feature three engaging presentations:
-
Carmen Nacarino Meneses (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont - ICP)
«Paleontology and Materials Science: What do they have in common?»
-
Francisco Javier Giménez Izquierdo (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - UPC)
«Myth and Science in Ancient Egypt: Chemistry and Materials Science»
-
Emilio Jiménez Piqué (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - UPC)
«Fantastic Materials! Metallurgy and Materials Science in The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and other fantasy series»
Each 25-minute talk will be followed by dedicated time for Q&A, debate, and an open exchange of ideas with the audience.
The event is open to the entire community. We look forward to seeing you there to celebrate World Materials Day together!
