Exclusive Benefits:
An "Excellent Academic Paper Award" will be established, with award recipients receiving an honorary certificate and priority arrangement for oral presentations at the conference. Outstanding papers will be recommended to the partner journals. Papers accepted for publication will be exempt from Article Processing Charges (APC), receive free language polishing, and benefit from free international promotion.
The 2026 (13th) China International Graphene Innovation Conference, jointly organized by the China Graphene Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance (CGIA) and the CHINT Group, will be held from November 13 to 15, 2026, in Wenzhou (Yueqing). Having been successfully held for twelve editions, this conference is one of the largest and most influential comprehensive platforms for exchange and cooperation in the global graphene community.
To further advance academic exchange and technological innovation in the field of graphene, and to showcase the latest research achievements in graphene materials worldwide, the conference officially collaborates with three international English-language journals sponsored by Tsinghua University—Energy Materials and Devices (ISSN 3005-3315, CN 10-2097/TK), Carbon Future (ISSN 2960-0561), and Low-Dimensional Materials (ISSN: 3083-3442)—to openly solicit high-quality academic papers from universities, research institutes, and corporate R&D organizations worldwide.
Papers selected as outstanding by the Conference Academic Committee will be recommended to the partner journals. Those accepted after the journals' peer review process will be exempt from Article Processing Charges (APC), receive free language polishing, and enjoy free international promotion. We sincerely invite researchers and scientists to submit their contributions.
