Conferenc IMS Matera 2026

Call for papers

Linee guida, scadenze e modalità di invio dei contributi per la conferenza IMS Matera Capitale Mediterranea 2026.

A bright, contemporary conference hall interior in Matera, with large floor-to-ceiling windows framing the stone facades and terraces of the Sassi outside. In the center stands a minimalist podium of brushed metal and light wood, with rows of empty upholstered chairs facing it in a gentle arc. On the side walls hang four abstract, color-coded panels suggesting different Mediterranean research themes, rendered as geometric patterns rather than text. Soft morning sunlight floods the room, creating crisp reflections on polished stone flooring and subtle shadows beneath chairs. The atmosphere is formal yet welcoming, evoking a prestigious academic gathering. Photographed at eye level with a wide-angle lens, capturing the full breadth of the space in clear, professional photographic realism.
A large oval conference table crafted from pale oak sits in a historic vaulted stone room in Matera, its rough-hewn walls and arches revealing centuries-old textures. On the table, four distinct clusters of neatly stacked, unmarked documents are separated by slim, colored glass paperweights, symbolizing four Mediterranean-focused study groups. Slim laptops, blank name cards, and a central arrangement of olive branches and small ceramic amphorae add Mediterranean character without clutter. Soft, diffused daylight filters through a high arched window, gently grazing the stone and creating a calm, contemplative mood. Shot from above at a three-quarter angle, with moderate depth of field to keep the table and architectural details in crisp focus, the style is clean, balanced, and professionally photographic.

Grazie per la risposta. ✨

A symbolic, photographic still life representing Mediterranean music and cultural dialogue for an academic conference. On a smooth limestone slab reminiscent of Matera’s stone, rest four different traditional Mediterranean instruments reduced to abstract, non-functional forms: a simplified lute shape, a small drum cylinder, a curved wind instrument, and a stringed frame, all crafted from pale wood and bronze accents. Surrounding them are scattered olive leaves, fragments of sheet music reduced to blank staves, and a shallow ceramic bowl filled with sea water. Soft studio lighting from the left creates gentle highlights on metal edges and smooth shadows across the stone surface. The mood is reflective and intellectual, with a neutral background slightly blurred, composed centrally with shallow depth of field to emphasize the objects in crisp, realistic detail.

A wide, panoramic photographic view of Matera at dusk, with its ancient stone Sassi carved into the hillside, illuminated by warm golden lights. In the foreground, a sleek, modern conference table made of light wood stands on a terrace overlooking the city, covered with neatly arranged microphones, nameplates without text, and open laptops displaying abstract graphs. The sky transitions from soft blue to deep indigo, with the last glow of sunset behind distant hills. The scene is lit by a combination of gentle twilight and subtle, contemporary floor lamps, creating a professional yet atmospheric mood. Shot from a slightly elevated angle with sharp focus throughout, emphasizing the dialogue between historic architecture and modern academic conference culture, in clean, photographic realism.
