First Announcement: Strongly Coupled Coulomb Systems

We are pleased to announce the Strongly Coupled Coulomb Systems (SCCS 2025) Conference, taking place from July 27 to August 1, 2025, at the Tahoe Blue Event Center in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA.

SCCS 2025 will provide a platform for presenting and discussing research achievements and ideas on plasma, liquid, and condensed matter systems, with a focus on strong Coulomb interactions. The conference topics have evolved, reflecting new experimental tools and access to strongly coupled conditions, particularly in areas such as warm matter, dusty plasmas, and ultra-cold plasmas. Set in the scenic Stateline, Nevada, the event offers attendees a unique opportunity to engage in high-level academic discussions while enjoying the serene beauty of Lake Tahoe.

Conference topics include:

Dense and Astrophysical Plasmas
Plasmas in Condensed Matter
Confined and Mesoscopic Coulomb Systems
High-Energy Density Plasmas in the Laboratory
Classical Charged Systems
Developments in Theoretical Methods and Numerical Techniques
Non-Equilibrium Systems

For more information, please visit the SCCS 2025 website.

Registration is open, with an early registration deadline of June 1, 2025

Abstract submission is open, with an abstract deadline of April 15, 2025
