Welcome to the 2022 ISAF-PFM-ECAPD Joint Conference. The conference will be held in Tours, France from 27 June - 1 July 2022. This international conference aims to bring together leaders from academia, national laboratories, and industrial research and development sectors. The conference will cover the most recent advancements in the science and technology of ferroelectrics, electroceramics, thin films, dielectric materials, and their applications.
 
The symposium will offer overviews on topics including, but not limited to:
