The 21st International Conference on Defects in Insulating Materials “ICDIM – 2024”.

The 21st International Conference on Defects in Insulating Materials (ICDIM) will be held in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, in 2024. The conference is dedicated to research related to defects in insulators and non-metallic materials. Astana is a progressive and ambitious city, which is the administrative, economic, educational and cultural center of the country.

ICDIM 2024 is the 21st conference in a series of conferences that began in 1956 at Argonne, USA, with the meeting “Color Centers in Alkali Metal Halides.” The ICDIM and EURODIM conferences alternate every four years, making them one of the most renowned and longest-running international forums on the science and technology of insulator defect phenomena.

Eurasian National University named after L.N. Gumilev, together with other institutes and universities of Kazakhstan, organizes ICDIM 2024 with the support of sponsors. We look forward to meeting you in Astana, Kazakhstan in the summer of 2024 at ICDIM 2024, organized by A. Dauletbekova (Kazakhstan), R. Jackson (UK) and A. Popov (Latvia).
