The annual ECIS conference is the flagship event of the European Colloids and Interface Society (ECIS). Its 39th edition will be jointly held with the 5th UK Colloid Science Conference in the historical city centre of Bristol on 7th-12th September 2025. We envisage that the joint conference will attract more than 700 established and early-career scientists from academia and industry – from UK, EU, US, Australia, China, and further afield across the globe. The conference topics are broad-ranging, from fundamental studies to innovation-oriented research, providing a stimulating platform for the delegates to present and discuss latest multidisciplinary research and applications in the field of colloid and interface science.

To benefit from the predicted superior properties of high-entropy alloy (HEA) nanostructures in future energy solutions, many fundamental scientific questions and challenges still remain. These include: the development of new synthetic routes to achieve nanostructures with compositional, morphological and structural control; development of new high-throughput characterization routines to examine the structural and elemental distribution of multi-elemental nanostructured materials with high spatial resolution; the development of theoretical models to predict the catalytic properties and active sites driving the reactions on multi-elemental surfaces; the evolution of HEA nanostructured catalysts under realistic operating conditions; magnetic properties of HEAs. This Faraday Discussion aims to bring together pioneers within this area in a cross-disciplinary manner by providing a platform to explore possible solutions to these challenges, while establishing a fundamental understanding of these novel materials.

Nanomaterial science explores the unique properties and applications of materials at the nanoscale, where quantum and surface effects drive innovative advancements in technology, engineering and medicine. The AFuN25 summer School, open to master students, PhD students, postdocs and early researchers working in the field, will cover several emerging trends and hot sub-fields in nanomaterials, ranging from optical nanomaterials, plasmonic nanomaterials, nanomaterials for biomedical applications, porous nanomaterials, nanomaterials for photocatalysis, and more. The small size of the School will favor close interactions among participants, providing a perfect context for students to learn from experienced researchers about the latest trends in fundamental and applied nanomaterial science.

The School is highly interdisciplinary, and open to physicists, chemists, engineers and material scientists, bridging knowledge between students and researchers from several institutions around the world, and providing specialized training into several key topics. The lectures will focus on representative examples of state-of-the-art research on different types of nano-systems for functional applications in different techonologies.
