Following the success of former meetings (2011 and 2013 in Tokyo, 2016 in Brno, and 2019 in Erlangen), the 5th ISAM meeting will be held in Tokyo in the period of September 15-18, 2026. This symposium will provide an opportunity for active researchers to present and discuss recent findings and developments in and around the field of atomistic and multiscale modeling and simulation for revealing mechanics and multiphysics of materials. ISAM5-2026 will take place at Institute of Industrial Science (IIS, a.k.a. SEIKEN), The University of Tokyo, Japan.
