LIQUIDS2008 - Programme

Scientific Programme - Summary	Programme with all sessions

The scientific programme will consist of Plenary Lectures, Parallel sessions of lectures on various specific themes and poster sessions. The proceedings of the LMC 7 conference will be published as a special issue of Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter. We would like to ask all speakers to turn in a manuscript, so that the special issue reflects the full character of the meeting. Note that only the oral presentations will be published in the proceedings. Further instruction

We will do our very best, but we cannot guarantee that there will be no changes to details within each day. Please check [Late changes] and [Program: All sessions] from time to time for notices, just in case.

Poster boards have a usable area of 85 cm (horizontal) by 120 cm (vertical) and will take A0 posters in portrait format. Poster must fit within these limits.
Posters should be designed with large fonts and graphics so that they can be read easily from a distance. Fixing materials will be available at the Conference.
