International Conference on Simulation of Organic Electronics and Photovoltaics, SimOEP 2026, September 9th - 11th
The SimOEP conference brings together modelling specialists and device physicists from industry and academia to explore the latest developments in OLEDs, emerging solar cells, photodetectors, and innovative battery technologies. Contributions highlight current and future challenges addressed through advanced electro‑optical characterization techniques and state‑of‑the‑art device simulations. Modelling topics span classical analytical and numerical methods as well as the rapidly growing use of machine learning and AI‑assisted approaches.
SimOEP 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.
