3rd Italian - Japanese Workshop on Liquid Crystals
Introduction
We are pleased to announce the 3rd Italian-Japanese
Workshop on Liquid Crystals which will be held in Casstiglioncello, Italy
from June 4 to 7, 2006. The meeting will be organised by the Italian
Liquid Crystal Society in collaboration with the Japanese
Liquid Crystal Society (JLCS) and the Department
of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry of Pisa University.
The aim of the Workshop is to bring together members of two communities
of Italy and Japan for a presentation and discussion of recent results in
the liquid crystal research. It is hoped that the Workshop will enhance
exchange and scientific cooperation between Italy and Japan in the more
innovative areas of liquid crystal science and technology.
The format of the workshop will be based on a number of keynote talks of
leading Italian and Japanese scientists. In addition there will be the opportunity
for other participants to present their latest results as posters.
