International Conferences on Functional Materials, which Taurida National V.I. Vernadsky University holds, enable Ukrainian researchers regularly present the results of their works, to get acquainted with the current state of science and applied research in this area, serve as stimulus for further development of the physical and technological research of functional materials in Ukraine. It were desided the Eighth International Scientific Conference "Functional Materials ICFM'2015" to held in Crimea in 2015.
