The seventh Liquid Matter Conference will take place at Lund University, Sweden
27 June to 1 July 2008

Previous conferences were held in:

• Lyon 1990
• Firenze 1993
• Norwich 1996
• Grenada 1999
• Konstantz 2002
• Utrecht 2005

This series of meetings is organized by the Liquids Section of the Condensed Matter Division of the European Physical Society.

The aim of the conference is to bring together scientists working on the liquid state of matter. This rapidly growing field includes the physics, chemistry, biology, and chemical engineering of liquid matter as well as various applied research areas in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and oil industries.
The conference will consist of plenary lectures, topical symposia with keynote lectures and contributed oral presentations, and poster sessions.

1) Simple liquids: ionic and quantum liquids and liquid metals
2) Water and aqueous solutions
3) Liquid crystals
4) Polymers, polyelectrolytes, and biopolymers
5) Colloids
6) Films, foams, and surfactants
7) Confined liquids and interfacial phenomena
