Welcome

We are delighted to welcome you to the ILMAT2023 | 7th International Conference on Ionic Liquid-Based Materials

held in Porto, Portugal, from November 21st to November 24th, 2023.

PORTO is the second largest city in Portugal and one of the major urban areas in Southern Europe. It is situated along the Douro River estuary in northern Portugal and is one of the oldest European centers, with a settlement dating back many centuries as an outpost of the Roman Empire. Its Latin name, Portus Cale, is believed to be the origin of the name Portugal. Porto is frequently recognized as Europe's Leading City Destination.

This prestigious event is organized by the Faculty of Science of the University of Porto in partnership with the Portuguese Society of Chemistry (SPQ).

The technical sessions for ILMAT2023 will take place at the Instituto Pernambuco – Porto, providing an ideal venue for fruitful discussions and knowledge exchange among researchers and industry professionals in the field.

Instituto Pernambuco – Rua das Estrelas 143, 4150-762 Porto

ILMAT conference series

The International Conferences on Ionic Liquid-Based Materials (ILMAT) are well-established European conferences that focus on the properties and applications of ionic liquids. Previous conferences were successfully held in Vienna (2011), Montpellier (2013), Berlin (2015), Santiago de Compostela (2017), Paris (2019), and Alsace (2021). 

This European conference is dedicated to the study of ionic fluids, with a strong emphasis on ionic liquids. It comprehensively covers a wide range of topics, including the physicochemical and biological properties of these substances, as well as their potential applications. In recent years, the remarkable potential applications of ionic liquids have captured the interest of researchers from various multidisciplinary fields such as chemistry, physics, biology, and materials engineering. These versatile substances possess exceptional properties that stem from their unique dual character as both ionic and molecular entities. As a result, they have emerged as ideal advanced materials for a diverse range of energy applications. The extensive research and utilization of ionic liquids in various domains have made significant contributions to the advancement of knowledge in this field.

ILMAT2023 presents an unparalleled opportunity for researchers worldwide who specialize in ionic liquids to showcase their latest achievements and exchange valuable experiences. By bringing together academic scientists from diverse regions of the world, this conference aims to provide a forum for discussing a wide range of materials and their properties and applications, with a particular emphasis on ionic liquids. The overarching goal is to foster scientific discussions and collaborations in a socially dynamic and intellectually stimulating atmosphere that will inspire new applications in the field of sustainable development.

WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CONFERENCE!
