Dear colleagues,

We have the pleasure to invite you to attend the forth coming 17^th International Conference on Scintillating Materials and their Applications (SCINT2024) that will be held at the University of Milano – Bicocca, Milano, Italy, from July 8 – July 12, 2024.

The conference is an international forum on scintillator materials spanning  from fundamental aspects to technological applications. Topics include:

• Mechanisms and theory of scintillation
• Characterizations of scintillators
• Crystals: growth and structural control
• Optical ceramics and glasses
• Nano- and metamaterials, hybrids, and other novel materials
• Scintillators for fast timing detection and imaging
• Scintillators for neutron detection and imaging
• Applications of scintillators: fundamental research, health, environment, energy, metrology, industrial controls.

Plenary lectures, keynotes, orals, and poster sessions are planned during the whole week together with several social activities. In addition, a two-day summer school for young researchers on scintillation mechanisms and applications will be organized just before the starting of the conference.

The submitted conference proceedings will be published on IEEE – Transactions on Nuclear Science after a regular peer-review process.

Abstract submission is now open. News concerning the conference will be posted in this website, which will be constantly updated.

We look forward to receiving your contributions and to building a very exciting scientific program.

See you soon in Milano,

Mauro Fasoli and Anna Vedda
