Awards and Special Issue
Best Poster & Shotgun Presentation Prizes
The PROTEOMASS Scientific Society and Dyes and Pigments Journal (Elsevier) will recognise outstanding scientific contributions by awarding certificates and prizes to the top three presentations in each of the following categories:
- Shotgun Communications
- Shotgun Posters
- Poster Presentations
Evaluation will be based on the excellence, originality, and impact of the research presented. Winners will be determined through online voting during the conference.
The Awards consist on an oficial certificate, a local ceramic gift, and 250 euros (Shotgun presentations); 200 euros (Posters Shotgun) and 200 euros (Posters) in cash.
Moreover all shotgun and poster shotguns awarded will have a free quota to publish a paper in the Special Issue December 2026 of Translational Chemistry Journal.
Advances in Light-Responsive and Chromogenic Systems
The 7th International Caparica Conference on Chromogenic and Emissive Materials (IC3EM 2026) will take place in Caparica, Portugal, from July 12–16, 2026. This renowned interdisciplinary event gathers leading scientists working on chromogenic, luminescent, and stimuli-responsive materials, fostering dialogue across chemistry, physics, materials science, and biomedical research since the first edition in 2014. IC3EM 2026 offers a vibrant platform for presenting cutting-edge discoveries, networking, and exploring new collaborations. With plenary lectures, keynote talks, oral communications, and poster sessions, the conference promises a dynamic and engaging scientific environment by the Atlantic coast. Join us at www.ic3em2026.com to be part of this exciting journey into light and color!
