24th International Liquid Crystal Conference, ILCC, Mainz, 19 - 24 August 2012
http://www.ilcc2012.de/ilcc.htm
The mission of this biannual conference is to bring together the scientific community working in the interdisciplinary field of Liquid Crystals, or mesophases in the broader sense. This community ranges from classical synthetic chemistry to theoretical physics, from structural biology to engineering applications, and is linked by the interest in various aspects of soft matter. Liquid Crystals are nowadays almost omnipresent in many, very different fields of science and this conference will provide a common platform for demonstrating and discussing new developments. The organizers are Rudolf Zentel, University of Mainz (chairman), Klaus Muellen, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (co-chairman) and Harald Pleiner, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (co-chairman).
Mainz Materials Simulation Days, Mainz, 25 - 27 May 2011
http://www.mpip-mainz.mpg.de/theory/mmsd
The Mainz Materials Simulation Days are a series of discussion meetings focusing on method developments in computational materials science. The workshops are jointly organized by the groups of Prof. Kurt Kremer at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research and Prof. Friederike Schmid at the Physics Institute of the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. They will typically be of a 2 days duration starting at noon on Wednesday and finishing at noon on Friday.
Many-electron approaches in Material Science, Mainz, 27 May 2011
http://www.mpip-mainz.mpg.de/theory/events/meams
This 1/2-day meeting (Friday afternoon, 27th of May, 2011) is a follow up of the NAMET conference and is focused on the development of novel methods to treat many-electron problems and their potential applications in material science. For this reason it is thought as a complementary section of the Mainz Material Simulation Days (MMSD 2011) meeting where the latest application of computational methodologies to condensed matter will be discussed.
New Approaches in Many-Electron Theory (NAMET), September 20 - 24, 2010 in Mainz
This interdisciplinary workshop will focus on the theoretical foundation of many-electron models and on its numerical implementations, with a special focus on quantum Monte Carlo, density functionals and (reduced) density matrix functionals.

38th Topical Meeting on Liquid Crystals, March 10 - 12, 2010 in Mainz
The general topic of this workshop (the 38th in the series 'Arbeitstagung Flüssigkristalle') are mesophases, their synthesis and characterization, as well as experiments, theory, simulation, and applications related to mesophases. Besides thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals, also block copolymers, liquid crystalline polymers and elastomers will be considered including subjects like mesophases in biological material, colloids and mesophases, instabilities in mesophases, photonic and charge transport properties in liquid crystal phases, and reactions in ordered phases.

International Discussion Meeting on the MOLECULAR AND STRUCTURAL BASIS OF FUNCTIONAL SYSTEMS Sparkassenakademie Schloß Waldthausen
Charge Transport in Organic Materials: From Single Molecules to Devices
23-28 September 2007
http://www.pbh.de/en/aktuelles/S307.html
The goal of this summer school is to highlight the current state of investigations on the charge
transport in organic materials and to provide an up-to-date overview on the key aspects of molecular
electronics from individual molecules and single crystals to devices based on thin films. This school
will present the research activities on the transport phenomena over the past decade from an experimental
and theoretical point of view. The latest results in device preparation and application will be highlighted
together with a critical discussion of future prospects, e.g. devices based on single molecules or organic
photovoltaic cells.
European Conference on Molecular Electronics
05-08 September 2007
http://www.ecme-2007.gatech.edu/
The
Conference will cover all areas related to organic and plastic
electronics, including chemistry, physics, biology, materials science,
optical science, nanoscience, engineering, and device fabrication and
commercialization.
