Since its launch in 2024, the PerFut symposium series has become a forward-looking forum for discussing emerging directions and future challenges in metal halide perovskites. PerFut27 at MatSus 2027 will continue this mission by bringing together researchers, technology developers, and industrial stakeholders to explore both fundamental advances and application-driven opportunities in this rapidly evolving field. Metal halide perovskites remain among the most promising materials for next-generation optoelectronic technologies. However, translating their exceptional properties into real-world applications still requires overcoming major challenges, including scalable large-area fabrication, long-term operational stability, environmental compatibility, and economic viability. At the same time, fundamental studies continue to reveal new physical phenomena and functionalities that expand the scope of these materials beyond current goals, opening opportunities in photovoltaics, photodetectors, LEDs, memristive devices, and other emerging applications.
PerFut27 will address both technological progress and foundational scientific advances, creating an interdisciplinary space where chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering converge to shape a robust, versatile, and sustainable future for halide perovskite research and technology.
