NTN Materials IQ - Workshop

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

As space becomes increasingly important from both, an economic and strategic perspective, the need for innovation in space technology is growing.

Space technologies are highly dependent on protective surfaces and innovative materials and have always been a source of innovation.

Managing temperature, corrosion, radiation, and electric fields; physical protection; sensing; self-cleaning; and weight reduction are just a few of the challenges.

Orbiting Earth and operating in space present challenges that are almost always far more demanding than those of terrestrial applications.

We are delighted to invite you to discuss with cutting-edge researchers forward-looking ideas and research findings:

Materials & surfaces for space – future technologies & challenges, on May 27, 2026, at Empa, Überlandstrasse 129, 8600 Dübendorf.
