Nanometa 2026 will take place from Tuesday 6 early morning to Friday 9 January evening 2026 as an in-person conference.

NANOMETA aims to bring together the international Nanotechnology, Photonics and Materials research communities where most recent and challenging results and plans are discussed in the informal setting on a glorious mountaineering resort. The 2026 technical programme will include invited and selected contributed papers in the areas of:

• Plasmonics and metamaterials.
• Time and temporal crystals
• Fisher information in photonics.
• Symmetry breaking in photonics
• Topological light and matter.
• Advanced nanophotonic applications.

 A special session will be organised to celebrate Sir Michael Berry’s seminal contributions to the physics of waves and topology.

The conference will be organised in two oral parallel sessions (Nanophotonics and Metamaterials) to take place during 4 full days from Tuesday 6 to Friday 9 January 2026. The conference timetable will be arranged in a way that permits mid-day breaks for recreational activities and informal contact between participants.
