It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 18th Asian Conference on Organic Electronics (ACOE 2026), to be held from November 20 to 23, 2026, at the Guangzhou International Campus of South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China. Since its launch in Kyushu, Japan, in 2009, ACOE has grown into a leading international gathering in organic electronics, rotating annually among Japan, Korea, and China (including the region of Taiwan, China). We are proud to continue this tradition in the vibrant and historically rich city of Guangzhou.

Hosted by State Key Laboratory of Luminescent Materials and Devices, South China University of Technology, ACOE 2026 will bring together distinguished researchers and emerging scientists to explore the latest advances in organic electronics and photonics. The scientific program will cover a wide range of topics—from the synthesis, characterization, and physical properties of organic materials, to the device physics and engineering of organic electronic and optoelectronic devices. Special attention will be given to cutting-edge technologies, including organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaics (OPVs), dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs), perovskite solar cells, organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs), and organic memory devices.

Beyond the formal sessions, ACOE 2026 will serve as a dynamic platform for intellectual exchange and collaborative networking. We especially encourage the participation of early-career researchers and students, for whom the conference offers a supportive environment to present their work, gain feedback, and connect with leading experts from around the world.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our sponsors for their invaluable technical and financial support, to all participants for their contributions and engagement, and to the committee members for their dedication in making this event possible.

It is our sincere hope that ACOE 2026 will be both intellectually enriching and personally enjoyable. We look forward to welcoming you to Guangzhou and wish you a memorable stay in this dynamic city.
