9 to 12 August 2026
Copenhagen, Denmark

We are delighted to welcome you to the vibrant city of Copenhagen for the 2026 edition of the MAF conference, gathering of scientists, researchers, and innovators in the field of fluorescence. Over four days, we will explore methodologies, applications, and fluorescent materials. We aim to foster meaningful discussions and new collaborations such that we can continue advancing the frontiers of fluorescence-based science.

Whether you’re here to present your latest findings, engage in discussions, or simply connect with peers from around the world, we hope that will enjoy MAF2026. It is thanks to you we all can enjoy the dynamic MAF community — we look forward to welcoming you in Copenhagen.

Professor Bo Wegge Laursen & Professor Thomas Just Sørensen
