Thermodynamics 2026

The 29th edition of the Thermodynamics conference will be hosted in London between the 13-15 of September 2026.

The remit of the Thermodynamics Conference Series (TCS) is the promotion of thermodynamics as a scientific discipline, to improve its techniques, and to advance their application in science and technology through the organisation of biennial conferences, bringing together researchers from academia and industry from all over the world.

Thermodynamics is a cornerstone of the scientific and engineering disciplines encompassing core branches of chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, energy technologies, and materials science. The thermodynamic interrelationships between heat, work, and energy are the basis for understanding the properties of matter and its transformations, which are at the heart of the design and optimisation of industrial processes, and the development of advanced materials and products. Thermodynamics provides a platform from which scientists and engineers can analyze and describe complex systems  from the microscopic (molecular) level to the macroscopic scale of bulk matter. Although its origins date back to the scientific revolution, thermodynamics has continued to evolve, benefitting from advances in experimental techniques, theoretical formalism, and numerical molecular simulation. As a consequence of some of the more recent developments, the discipline is becoming relevant to an increasing number of domains including the complex supramolecular arrangements ubiquitous in the life sciences, nano-materials, and colloidal systems, in which short-range interactions can be dominant, and complex fluids such as liquid crystals, polyelectrolytes, and ionic liquids, which have been the subject of much current attention.
