Participate in a high level program: Submit abstracts for talks and posters by 23 January 2026.
This 15th edition in the series will offer world class facilities for attendees to exchange new ideas, establish new scientific relationships and international collaborations.
Colloid and Interface Science has a long proud history, and an ever-increasing relevance for new directions in materials sciences and engineering. As such, amongst other applications, Colloid and Interface Science facilitates advances in nano-science, soft matter science, catalysis, new developments in energy efficiency, energy generation and storage, nano-medicine and drug delivery, sensing and diagnostics, multi-phase flows and wetting.
This conference aims to provide a forum for researchers from across the world to join in a relaxed atmosphere, to communicate and share the latest developments from these research areas.
The 15th International Colloids Conference covers the following topics:
New materials for energy generation and storage, catalysis, separations, buildings, foods, clothing and packaging
Advanced soft matter systems, covering functional and adaptive surfactants, polymers, gels and biocolloids
Designed responsive and functional interfaces, surfaces, films, membranes and composites
Bio materials, nano-medicines novel approaches to drug delivery and medical diagnostics
New theory, novel phenomena and advanced experimental techniques
Our attendees continuously rate the quality of the presentations among the highest in the field. Learn from international researchers, understand the current state of research and challenges to future discovery, and present your latest research at this successful event.
Meet with international colleagues, grow your professional scientific network and make new friends. There will be plenty of opportunities to socialize throughout the conference and at the special conference dinner.
The conference series has developed and published a gender equality policy.
Oral slots are available specifically for Young Investigators (PhD students or Post-docs). Young Investigator Perspectives talks should include clear scientific justifications for the research, new results and explanations of how the research has advanced the field compared to existing literature. There will be opportunities for these presenters to contribute Young Investigator Perspectives articles to the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, in consultation with the Editors.
Best posters will be selected by the Scientific Committee. Best Poster Prize winners will receive a certificate and free registration to the 2027 conference.
The Editors of the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science will select a small number of Authors and invite them to contribute to the journal. All papers accepted in this journal are subject to a stringent Editorial and peer review process. The Journal of Colloid and Interface Science is the premier journal in colloids with an Impact Factor 9.7 and a Cite Score of 18.5.
Abstract submission deadline: 23 January 2026
Author notification: 20 March 2026
Author registration deadline: 24 April 2026
Early booking deadline: 24 April 2026
The program will include invited plenary lectures, contributed talks and poster sessions highlighting the latest food science research. The program will be curated by a committee of world class academic leaders in their respective fields.
