iCT Conference 2026 in Linz

Four days focused on practical progress in CT research and applications. 

The iCT Conference returns to Linz from 10 to 13 February 2026, bringing researchers, engineers, and industry teams together at FH OOE, Linz Campus. As a sponsor, Tescan will take part throughout the event with a booth and an industry-day presentation focused on advancing in-situ micro-CT. The week offers keynotes, technical sessions, short talks, posters, and lab tours across both Linz and Wels campuses.

Program overview

The conference begins Tuesday afternoon in Linz with sponsor talks, followed by three days of keynotes, technical sessions, short talks, posters, and lab tours across the Linz and Wels campuses. Evening events, campus transfers, and the conference dinner provide added time for discussion as the program moves from foundational CT topics to emerging methods and applied research.

Session topics

Attendees can explore nine focused areas that reflect current CT practice and its future direction. These include in-situ investigations, multimodal and spectral CT, metrology, inline CT and robotics, machine learning, and material characterization. Posters and short talks add space for deeper technical exchange. 

Keynotes

Speakers will address CT for hydrogen-related materials, CT for industrial quality tasks, and new applications in biological and food-process imaging:

  • CT for investigations of materials for hydrogen applications, Julia Maurer, University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria

  • Boosting quality: CT in various applications at Bosch, Jochen Butzer, Robert Bosch GmbH 

  • From root to food: Unlocking potential through lab-based XCT imaging, Sebastian Gruber and Nicolai Koebernick, Tescan's customers at the Technical University of Munich 

Tescan at iCT 2026

Tescan will present Advancing In-Situ Micro-CT: High-Resolution Imaging Integrated Into Dynamic Workflows during the industry program. The session outlines how integrated in-situ approaches can capture structural change with sharper detail and fewer setup constraints. In plain terms, it shows how dynamic CT can move from specialized use to routine research and inspection.
Also, don’t miss our collaborator’s talk in Session 2: A One Shot Multi-Material/Polymer Differentiation with Spectral CT – First Insights from the Perspective of Materials Science by Christoph Queck, Leibniz-Institut für Verbundwerkstoffe GmbH.

You are welcome to stop by our booth to discuss your imaging challenges, whether they relate to dynamic experiments, reconstruction quality, or workflow integration. Our team will share recent developments and examples from applied research. It is a practical way to explore how new micro-CT capabilities can support clearer decisions in materials science, process development, or failure analysis. 

We look forward to meeting you in Linz and continuing the conversation around high-resolution CT workflows.
