About

Colloid and Interface Science is the foundation for today’s advanced material science and engineering, nano-science, soft matter science and catalysis. As such, Colloid and Interface Sciences underpin new advances in energy efficiency, generation and storage, nano-medicine and drug delivery, sensing and diagnostics, amongst other applications.

This meeting aims to attract international researchers to communicate and share the latest developments in these dynamic and ever-expanding fields.

High quality presentations
Our attendees continuously rate the quality of the presentations among the highest in the field.

Gender policy
The conference has published its Gender policy

Young investigator perspectives
Oral slots are available specifically for Young Investigators (PhD students or Post-docs). Young Investigator Perspectives talks should be structured to include clear scientific justifications for the research, new results from the studies 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 Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, in consultation with the Editors.

Win the best poster prize
The best Posters will be selected by the Scientific Committee, and prize winners will receive a certificate and free registration for the 2019 conference.

Post-conference publication
After the conference a selection of articles will be published in the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, subject to the normal peer review process.
