ECMetAC Days 2024 will be organized jointly by the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, and the Institute of Physics, Zagreb, Croatia, from November 25 to 28, 2024, at the Institute of Physics in Zagreb. This is the second time that the Institute of Physics has hosted the event after 10 years. This year marks the 15th anniversary of the ECMetAC.

The primary purpose of ECMetAC Days is to provide comprehensive information on recent results achieved within the current year of the ECMetAC action and to discuss directions for future research.

Contributions will cover research topics related to complex metallic alloys and compounds ranging from basic to application-oriented research:

• Development of new metallic alloys and compounds
• Structure determination, stability
• Physical, chemical, and mechanical properties
• Surfaces of complex metallic alloys
• Materials for energy and quantum materials
• Materials for catalysis
• Coating technologies
• Complexity in periodic and aperiodic metallic alloys and compounds (theory and experiment)
• High-entropy alloys

 Contributions related to gender mainstreaming in (materials) science will also be most welcome.

We look forward to meeting you in Zagreb,

Mario Novak and Petar Popčević
