Ninth Liblice Conference
on the Statistical Mechanics of Liquids
The upcoming 9th conference will follow the spirit and format of the previous meetings,
to provide an effective forum for contacts and for the exchange of ideas, with
an emphasis on discussions rather than on formal presentations, highlighting
achievements and challenges in both theoretical and applied aspects of the discipline.
In addition to the traditional topics:
- Liquid-state theories
- Molecular simulation: methodology and novel applications
the program of the 9th conference will include recent developments in the fields of:
- Fluid interfaces and confined fluids
- Aqueous systems, including electrolytes
- Soft matter
- Supercooled/glassy states
Paper submissions
Presentations of both original research results and review-type contributions in all the above
listed areas are solicited.
Authors are invited to submit tentative titles and short abstracts of their contributions to reach
the conference chairman not later than December 14, 2013.
All submissions will be considered, but final acceptance for the Conference will depend on the decision
of the International Scientific Committee.
To preserve the established atmosphere of the meeting, the Liblice
conference does not run parallel sessions, and the number of participants
will therefore be limited to approximately 110.
If the number of interested participants exceeds this figure significantly,
attendees will be chosen to reflect an appropriate breadth of representation.
With the
emphasis on plenary lectures, participants must accept the fact that
only a very limited number of contributions will be presented orally (15
minutes with 5 minutes for discussion to follow); the overwhelming
majority of contributions will thus be presented as posters.
MOLECULAR PHYSICS conference issue
Taylor and Francis Group Ltd are supporting the Conference by sponsoring a Molecular Physics
Lecture and by publishing papers contributed by participants as a special issue of the Journal.
The manuscripts will be refereed to the usual high standard.
Papers which incorporate some review material will be acceptable provided novel work is
also presented. The special issue is expected to appear towards the end of 2014.
