Between the ocean and the Arcachon basin, researchers and industry specialists in adhesion will meet to discuss developments that matter for applied materials. The 2026 edition combines training and a three-day scientific colloquium under a single schedule.
Dates and venue for JADH 2026
JADH 2026 runs from 20 to 25 September 2026 at the VVF de Lège Cap-Ferret. The event is organized by the SFA committee and takes place in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, offering on-site training followed by the scientific sessions.
Program format in Lège-Cap-Ferret
The event starts with two days of training led by a refreshed team of academic and industrial experts. These sessions address fundamentals of adhesion and practical approaches to design and optimization of bonded assemblies. A three-day scientific colloquium follows, with oral presentations and a poster session targeted at PhD students.
Program themes include wetting, durability of structural joints, surface functionalization, and new routes for adhesive synthesis. Invited speakers will provide syntheses of key work and an industrial presence will connect research discussions to application scenarios.

How to prepare for B2B prospecting at JADH 2026
For commercial and technical prospecting focus on two practical moves. First, schedule short technical meetings with R&D or product managers; the mix of training, talks and posters facilitates focused technical exchanges. Second, bring concise technical data sheets or representative samples to discuss durability, surface treatments and assembly workflows in concrete terms.
Identify trainers with industrial backgrounds during the courses and request follow-up conversations to evaluate collaboration potential. The announced industrial presence is the best opportunity to compare vendors and prototype solutions on site.
Audience and contribution types
The event targets researchers, PhD students and technical staff from companies working with adhesives and advanced materials. Contributions may be oral or poster; posters are particularly suited for early-stage doctoral results and rapid technical feedback.
Closing note and official link
JADH 2026 pairs applied training with a focused scientific program on adhesion and bonded assemblies. If your work connects research and industrial application, prioritize the training days and the poster session to get technical feedback and supplier contact.
