The Society

Since 1990, the ILCS has attracted nearly 900 members in 43 countries and territories on six continents. The Society also serves as an umbrella organization for regional societies established in recent years.

The Society unites scientists, engineers and students working in the broad field of fundamental and applied aspects of different liquid crystal systems, including thermotropic, lyotropic, polymer and polymer-modified liquid crystals. The Society fosters communication among members, establishes the venue of the biennial international conferences, and publishes Liquid Crystals Today, appearing under the sponsorship of Taylor&Francis.
