Dear Colleagues and Friends,

The 20^th Discussion Meeting on Thermodynamics of Alloys (TOFA 2026) will take place in Bled, Slovenia, from September 20 to September 24, 2026.

Bled is one of the most iconic and picturesque destinations in Europe, located in the heart of the Julian Alps and just 55 km from the Slovenian capital, Ljubljana. Famous for its emerald-green lake, the charming island with its church, and the medieval castle perched on a cliff, Bled is often described as a fairy-tale setting. The surrounding region offers a unique combination of unspoiled nature, cultural heritage, and warm hospitality, making it an inspiring location for scientific exchange.

Slovenia is a country of remarkable diversity... – where Alpine peaks meet the Mediterranean, where rich history blends with modern innovation, and where sustainability and care for the environment are part of everyday life.

TOFA 2026 will continue the long tradition of bringing together researchers, scientists, and students working in the field of thermodynamics of alloys. The conference will feature invited lectures by distinguished experts, selected oral contributions, and poster sessions, fostering lively discussions and opportunities for collaboration across generations and disciplines.

We warmly invite you to join us in Bled for this special edition of TOFA. Beyond the scientific program, we encourage you to experience the beauty, culture, and culinary delights of Slovenia.

We look forward to welcoming you to Bled in September 2026!

Jožef Medved and Maja Vončina
