From June 21 to 26, 2026, Universit\u00e9 Laval, in collaboration with COPL, served as the official host of the 30th International Liquid Crystal Conference (ILCC 2026).<\/p>\n

For the occasion, the ATRIUM of the Alexandre Vachon Pavilion was decorated in its finest to welcome some 325 participants from 32 countries.<\/p>\n

Guess which distant country was the most represented? Japan, with its delegation of 54 conference attendees.<\/p>\n

This just goes to show that liquid crystal research is a leading field in Japan.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Professor Tigran Galstian from Universit\u00e9 Laval, chair of the 2026 conference, who successfully brought together experts in the field in the old capital.
