5th Workshop on Liquid Crystals for Photonics

Conference web-site: http://wlcp2014.uniroma1.it

Conference venue:  Erice, Italy 3-7 September, 2014

The Workshop on Liquid Crystals for Photonics is a forum of world first class scientists, in particular chemists, physicists and engineers, involved in photonic applications of liquid crystals.
The workshop includes mostly invited speakers from renowned academic and research institutions, from several countries to encompass the state of the art in photonics using liquid crystals and composite materials. A poster session is also organized to allow especially young researchers to present their results.
The previous four editions of WLCP were successfully held in :
- Ghent (Belgium) in 2006
- Cambridge (UK) in 2008.
- Elche (Spain) in 2010
- Hong Kong (China), in 2012.

The next WLCP will be held from the 2nd to the 7th of September 2014 in the frame of the 20th International School of Liquid Crystals (www-th.bo.infn.it/islc/), directed by Prof. Claudio Zannoni, at the “E. Majorana” Centre for Scientific Culture (http://www.ccsem.infn.it/).
