ICCOCM 2026 – Complex Orders in Condensed Matter

The conference brings together researchers interested in how complexity in atomic structure—periodic, aperiodic, and disordered—emerges and governs the physical properties of materials. The conference focuses on systems in which long range periodic or aperiodic order, disorder, local structure play a central role in determining electronic, magnetic, dynamical, and functional behavior.
