Welcome

Dear Colleagues and friends,

We are delighted to welcome you to the 10th International Symposium on Transparent Conductive Materials & 14th International Symposium on Transparent Oxide and Related Materials for Electronics and Optics (TCM-TOEO 2025).

Building on the success of previous conferences held in Crete (2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2022), Tokyo (2023) and Leipzig (2024), this year TCM-TOEO 2025 returns to Crete, in Rethymno, Greece, from Sunday 19th to Thursday 23th October 2025, continuing to be a fruitful platform for the development of the metal oxide community with the addition of new topics such as quantum technologies and energy storage devices.

Traditionally, during these events, we have all had the opportunity to meet with dear friends and colleagues from all over the globe and make new ones widening our academic and research horizons. Young researchers advanced rapidly in their fields and past post-docs are now participating as invited speakers. Senior researchers moved forward from academic to industrial research and vice versa, contributing to significant advances in their fields or opening new roads for the next generation of researchers. We have all had the pleasure of following developed careers, fellow scientists moving to more challenging and reputable posts while winning prestigious National and International awards and distinctions. On the other side, we have proudly seen colleagues that despite getting official retirement are still research active, continuing mentoring and training students while disseminating their wisdom to the next generation of young researchers. To all of you the community as a whole and I personally, are deeply grateful.

With this short note, I am proudly welcoming you all to this year’s joint meeting and wish you a scientific, fruitful, and personally pleasant stay.

Warm regards,

Prof. Vassilios Binas

TCM-TOEO 2025 Conference Chair
