Over the past few years, there has been an explosive growth of interest in both fundamental research and device applications based on Transparent Conductive Materials (TCMs). This unique class of fascinating wide band-gap materials is gaining a variety of cutting-edge applications in the fields of, among others, solar cells, gas sensors, electrochromic, thermochromic and smart windows, in architectural coatings as well as in organic light-emitting diodes, liquid crystal and high definition displays in which they are regarded as the main candidates for the forthcoming “post-Si” electronics era.

Driven by the tremendous worldwide research activities that range from fundamental physics to materials fabrication and TCM-based device development, the International Board Members of TCM (former TCO), in close collaboration with the Board members of the TOEO series meeting organized by our Japanese colleagues, following the success of the past conferences, have decided to combine the organization of these under the umbrella of the TCMnet which, under the name “TCM-TOEO 2022 Conference”, will take place at the attractive location of Crete in October 16 – 21, 2022.
