This workshop is part of a continuing series of international meetings supported by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. In particular, the 2026 meeting is jointly organized with the Samsung Global Research Symposium (GRS), hosted by the Samsung Science and Technology Foundation.

It aims to bring together a select group of leading scientists in fields related to quantum materials synthesis to exchange ideas and discuss recent experimental and theoretical advances. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, van der Waals magnets, two-dimensional materials, oxide thin films and bulk systems, superconductors, altermagnets, and topological materials.
