18th European Conference on Liquid Crystals (ECLC) (06/13/2027)

Sun, 13 Jun 2027 04:00:00 GMT

It is our pleasure to announce that the 18^th European Conference on Liquid Crystals (ECLC) takes place in June 14^st-18^th 2027 at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland.

Aberdeen has a long standing connection to liquid crystal research, with an active hub for this research area. Work on complex liquid crystal phases such as dimeric systems and twist-bend nematic phase helped place the city at the forefront of the discipline.

We are looking forward to welcome you in Aberdeen!

22nd International Conference on Optics of Liquid Crystals (OLC 2027) (09/27/2027)

Mon, 27 Sep 2027 04:00:00 GMT

From September 27 to October 2, 2027, the 22^nd International Conference on Optics of Liquid Crystals (OLC 2027) will be held in Yerevan, Armenia.

For more than four decades, the OLC conference series has served as a premier international forum for presenting and discussing fundamental and applied research in liquid crystals and their optical applications. Throughout its history, OLC has facilitated the exchange of ideas across disciplines, fostering collaboration and contributing to the advancement of both scientific understanding and technological innovation.

After sixteen years, the OLC conference series returns to Armenia, where the 2011 meeting provided a memorable forum for scientific exchange and international collaboration. Building on this legacy, OLC 2027 will bring together researchers, engineers, and students from around the world to discuss recent advances and future directions in liquid crystal science and technology, soft matter photonics, advanced optical materials, and related interdisciplinary fields.

Hosted by Yerevan State University and supported by Armenia’s optics and photonics community, OLC 2027 will feature plenary lectures, invited talks, contributed oral and poster presentations, and opportunities for interaction among researchers from diverse disciplines.

We cordially invite you to participate in OLC 2027, present your latest research findings, and join colleagues from around the world for a stimulating week of scientific discussion, knowledge exchange, and collaboration.
