Häerzlech Wëllkomm zu Lëtzebuerg!
Bienvenue au Luxembourg !
Herzlich Willkommen zu Luxemburg!
Welcome to Luxembourg!

The 52nd German Liquid Crystal Conference, a conference on the physics, chemistry, applications, or any other aspects of liquid crystals, was held 8-10 April 2026 on Campus Belval at the University of Luxembourg! While this conference was organized under the auspices of the German Liquid Crystal Society, in reflecting the international character of Luxembourg, we welcomed contributions from all countries, and in particular those in Europe, welcoming representatives from 19 countries in all. The conference language was English.

During the conference, we organized a session dedicated to the possibility of better coordinating European liquid crystal research. The German Liquid Crystal Society has offered to become open to all European liquid crystal researchers, removing its connection to a single country in the process. This could become the seed for a proper European Liquid Crystal Society (which does not currently exist) if such a development would be seen as beneficial.

GLCC2026 was hosted by the Experimental Soft Matter Physics Group of Jan Lagerwall and the Physics of Living Matter group of Anupam Sengupta.
