The 10th International Conference on Simulation of Organic Electronics and Photovoltaics (SimOEP) will be held in Winterthur, Switzerland, from Wednesday, 9th September to Friday, 11th September 2026.
Organic and hybrid materials underpin a wide range of emerging technologies, including OLEDs, photovoltaics, batteries, and photodetectors. Their rapid development continues to revolutionize energy systems and electronic devices alike.
While remarkable progress has been achieved, many fundamental and applied challenges remain. Addressing these requires close collaboration across disciplines and combining experimental research, materials synthesis, device engineering, and advanced modelling. Modelling and numerical simulations play a vital role in interpreting data, refining theoretical models, and guiding the optimization of performance and stability.
The motivation of this unique conference is to bring together these experts and enjoy a fruitful scientific exchange among them that will focus on a comprehensive range of topics. This will eventually lead to ever more reliable, validated physical models which accelerate our research efforts. We are pleased to chair this conference that continues a series of successful international simulation workshops on this topic previously held in Switzerland (2010, 2011, 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024) and Spain (2012, 2014).
We warmly invite contributions from the fields of chemistry, physics, materials science, electrical engineering, and computational modelling that advance understanding and innovation in organic and hybrid materials, OLEDs, photovoltaics, batteries, and photodetectors.
