MATSUS Spring 26 (#MATSUS26) is an onsite Conference organized by Fundació Scito, composed of multiple scientific symposia. Fundació Scito is a non-profit organization with the capacity to organize and manage conferences. nanoGe is the conference trade mark of Fundació Scito.

MATSUS Spring 26 will take place in Barcelona, Spain from the 23rd to the 27th of March 2026 .

Here we invite the scientific community to present proposals for MATSUS Spring 26 until April 24th, 2026. Are you interested in proposing a symposium? Please read the general instructions below.

Diversity in science

The symposia are conceived to form an exciting, interdisciplinary event that attracts key players of the respective fields as organizers, invited speakers and participants. As always, nanoGe very much takes diversity into account when putting conferences together: from gender to geographical diversity and senior researchers vs. young-and-upcoming ones that will raise fresh ideas to their field

Duration

Each symposium will take a maximum of 2 full days, with minimun of 6 invited speakers and a maximun of 12. Exceeding Invited Speakers will be considered as reserve.

The exact dates for each symposium will be decided by Fundació Scito based on the topic, the number of submitted abstracts and the success of the topic at past editions. Fundació Scito will do its best to schedule each symposium in the most convenient dates and will take into consideration any comment or request from the organizers but will not get any compromise a part for organizational reasons. It is possible to suggest coordination of symposia at the level of programming but organizers must note that each symposium must be treated separately.

Registration fees

Registration fee is determined by Fundació Scito and will be common to all symposia. An early bird discount will be offered until oral deadline. All participants will be required to register through nanoGe website according to the fee available at the moment of registration. Symposium organizers will obtain a 60% discount with respect to the academic early reagistration fee. Fees will not be modified unless major reasons due to unforeseen circumstances. Invited speakers and groups will also receive a discount on the registration fee.

Funds and sponsors
