From September 23 to 25, 2025, over 500 international experts from research and industry gathered in Nuremberg for the International Congress on Particle Technology (PARTEC) under the motto "Particles empowering tomorrow: Innovations for our global world." The goal of the congress was to present the latest scientific findings, exchange ideas, and set joint impulses for the future of particle technology.

As Chairman, Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Lutz Mädler held program responsibility and officially opened the conference. Numerous experts accepted the invitation to the event, including participants from Leibniz-IWT as well as contributors from Priority Program 2289 "Hetero-Aggregates," which is also coordinated by Prof. Lutz Mädler.
