Since its inception in 1994 in Venice, Italy, the International Meeting on Electrochromism (IME) has been successfully held 15 times in Italy, the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Turkey, South Korea, France, the Netherlands, Japan, Portugal, and Taiwan, China. It has become the oldest, largest, and most influential academic conference in the field of electrochromism worldwide.
The 16th International Meeting on Electrochromism (IME-16) will be held from October 26 to 30, 2026 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. The conference is organized by the Hangzhou International Innovation Institute (H3I) of Beihang University. It will bring together world-leading scholars, early‑career scientists, and industrial leaders to focus on cutting‑edge scientific issues, technological breakthroughs, and industrial applications of electrochromic materials and devices as well as related X‑chromic (thermochromic, photochromic, etc.) materials and devices. The conference aims to promote international exchange and collaboration. We warmly welcome experts and scholars from universities, research institutes, and enterprises worldwide to actively participate in the conference.
IME-16 will cover a wide range of topics on electrochromic and all other types of X-chromic (such as thermochromic, photochromic, etc.) materials, devices, and applications, including but not limited to:
• Frontiers and future trends in electrochromism and X-chromism
• Organic and inorganic electrochromic and X-chromic materials
• Electrochromic and X-chromic devices and systems
• Modeling and simulation of electrochromic and X-chromic behaviors
• Industrial applications and commercialization
• Other related optoelectronic functional materials and devices
