Welcome to Matrafured 2026, which takes place in Visegrad, Hungary, on June 14-19, 2026.

This single session conference is held every two to three years since 1972 in the beautiful, reasonably remote location of Visegrad, north of Budapest on the banks of the Danube river.

This conference is known to be an international meeting point of chemical sensor research and aims to encourage critical discussions, the exchange of ideas and the building of scientific networks.

To allow for this, sufficient time is allowed in the program. Each evening is crowned by the main event of the day, which is the lively poster session.

In the early days, the meeting was held at the Hungarian Academy of Science in Matrafured as an important meeting point for researchers in the area of ion-selective electrodes from both sides of the iron curtain.

Today, this conference has greatly diversified and grown to include contributions and critical discussions on a wide range of topics related to chemical sensing, including potentiometry, dynamic electrochemistry, biosensors and sensors with optical and other transduction principles.

The participation of young researchers including doctoral students is highly encouraged and made possible by the comparatively modest conference registration fee of 300 Euros.
