This year the Annual Meeting of the British Liquid Crystal Society (BLCS) will be held at the University of Warwick from morning on Tuesday 14th April 2026 until mid-afternoon on Thursday 16th April 2026.

As always, the BLCS Annual Meeting welcomes researchers from all career stages across all areas of liquid crystals research, but is traditionally aimed at providing a platform especially for early career researchers – PhD students as well as postdoctoral researchers – so that they can present their work to an expert audience.

For more details and submitting your abstract please refer to the conference pages.

The registration will open soon. Announcements will be made periodically through BLCS Notices.

For queries regarding the conference, please contact the conference organiser Dr Oksana Trushkevych at o.trushkevych(at)warwick.ac.uk
