The 8th International Conference on Radiation and Emission in Materials
November 30 - December 1, 2026
Chiang Mai, Thailand
The Organizing Committee, on behalf of the Thai Radiation and Particles Society (TRPS) and local host Chiang Mai University, is thrilled to announce the dates for the 8th International Conference on Radiation and Emission in Materials (ICREM 2026).
Eight years ago, in 2018, the very first ICREM was launched in the cultural heart of Northern Thailand—Chiang Mai, hosted by Chiang Mai University. That inaugural gathering set the standard for our community, blending high-level scientific discourse with the unforgettable backdrop of Thai northern culture.
Since that founding meeting, the ICREM series has traveled across Thailand, growing from a regional meeting into a global hub, most recently culminating in the major interdisciplinary ICAPMA-ICREM joint forum hosted by TRPS in Pattaya.
In 2026, we are bringing the conference home.
This partnership between TRPS as the society host and Chiang Mai University as the founding local host represents a powerful synergy of institutional strength and historical legacy.
Mark your calendars for November 30– December 1, 2026.
Join us in Chiang Mai to celebrate eight years of scientific excellence. Experience the perfect synergy of advanced applied physics and the breathtaking traditions of Lanna culture.
We look forward to welcoming you back to where it all began.
Sincerely,
The ICREM 2026 Organizing Committee

The 7th International Conference on Radiation and Emission in Materials (ICREM 2025) will be held from December 10–13, 2025, in Pattaya, Thailand, as a landmark joint event with ICAPMA 2025. Hosted by the Thai Radiation and Particles Society (TRPS) and endorsed by the International Radiation Physics Society (IRPS), the conference serves as the 6th International Forum on Advances in Radiation Physics (IFARP-6). This edition emphasizes a high-impact, interdisciplinary approach, merging radiation science with applied physics and materials testing to foster global collaboration across fields like medical physics, nuclear engineering, and agriculture.
ICREM 2024 was hosted by Mahasarakham University in Khon Kaen, Thailand. The conference was dedicated to exploring cutting-edge developments in radiation and emission phenomena across a diverse range of applications, serving as a platform for global intellectual exchange and collaboration. The scientific program covered numerous technical tracks, including nuclear and plasma radiation, accelerated particle beams, light-matter interaction fundamentals, and advanced emitting devices. Furthermore, discussions focused on specialized fields such as photovoltaics, radiation detection, materials characterization, and the application of radiation in agriculture and biology. By addressing both fundamental understanding and the exploitation of these phenomena in modern instrumentation, the event aimed to foster interdisciplinary research and industrial advancement.
The 5th International Conference on Radiation and Emission in Materials (ICREM 2023) was hosted by Maejo University (MJU) in Chiang Mai, Thailand, from December 13–15, 2023. This edition marked a significant milestone for the series, attracting over 300 attendees and featuring 30 invited presentations. The scientific program covered a broad range of technical tracks, including accelerated particle beams, nuclear and plasma irradiation, and light-matter interaction. Reflecting the expertise of the host university, the conference emphasized the application of radiation in agriculture and biology
The 4th ICREM was hosted by the College of Materials Innovation and Technology, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang. It was held in The Pullman Pattaya Hotel G during the 6-8 of April 2022. Notably, it was delayed from the 2021 to 2022 due to the COVID pandemic. The conference was attended on-site and on-line by >120 participants. Among the highlights of this conference are the Special ICREM issue of the Physica Status Solidi A (PSSA) and unforgettable views displaying postcards of the Pattaya Bay.
The 3rd ICREM was held at the premises of the Chiang Mai University main campus, hosted by the Department of Physics and Materials Science, renown for its academic records. The local organizer, the Plasma and Beam Physics Research Facility, has a long-lasting tradition in the field, started its research with nuclear physics and low-energy accelerators nearly 45 years ago and more recently extended the focus towards ion/electron beams and plasma science. About 100 attendees came on-site to participate in the conference.
The 2nd ICREM was hosted by the Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology (TINT), at the newly established Knowledge Exchange Center in Bangkok, during the 15-18th of December 2019. It altogether attracted >70 attendees. Among the highlights of the conference were 24 invited presentations, a Special ICREM Issue of the Physica Status Solidi A (PSSA), and – not least – a fantastic River Boat Trip with breathtaking views of the Bangkok-in-the-night on display.
The ICREM series started in 2018 in Chiang Mai and was hosted by the Chiang Mai University (CMU). It was hold at the Holiday Inn Chiangmai Hotel during the 12-15 of November 2018, altogether attracting >60 attendees, including 18 invited speakers. The conference period coincided with the Loi Krathong festval – one of the most famous and colorful events in Thailand – giving an opportunity to the ICREM attendees to celebrate too.
