Invitation
We invite you to join the 22nd International Workshop on Piezoelectric Materials and Applications in Actuators (IWPMA), which will be held in Vilnius, Lithuania,  July 1-3, 2025. This workshop offers a valuable opportunity for scientists, engineers, and professionals from around the globe to exchange the latest developments in the field of piezoelectric materials and their applications. It serves as an excellent platform to meet colleagues, share knowledge, and establish new professional connections.
 
The IWPMA conference series has been held annually since its inception, and we are thrilled to continue this tradition in 2025. Following the success of the last IWPMA, held in 2024 in Hannover, Germany, we look forward to welcoming participants once again to engage in dynamic discussions and collaborations. We encourage you to take part in this unique gathering, which fosters knowledge exchange and networking among experts in the field of piezoelectric materials and technologies.
