MAF2026 will take place August 9–12 in 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

Please note that a Bioimaging workshop and a FLIM workshop will take place prior to the conference. Further details can be found in the menu above. Both workshops have limited capacity, and participation is included in the conference registration fee.
The FLIM workshop is a dedicated stand-alone event organized by the Center for Advanced Bioimaging (CAB), University of Copenhagen and Aarhus Single Molecule Fluorescence (ASiMoF) infrastructure, Aarhus University. The workshop is scheduled in connection with the MAF conference and is organized independently.
The Optical Bioimaging workshop is organized by the University of Copenhagen Core Facility for Integrated BioImaging.
