The 19^th International Sol-Gel Conference will be held on September 3-8, 2017 in Liege, Belgium. The conference is organized in conjunction with the International Sol-Gel Society (ISGS). Previous editions gathered around 500 participants from all over the world. For the 19^th edition, the conference will be organized in three parallel sessions. The great success of the Sol-Gel Conference series over the past 35 years attests that sol-gel science and technology is an extraordinarily multidisciplinary research area. The biennial conference gathers the most relevant and innovative advances in the field from the point of view of scientific research and industrial developments. Intensive promotions to interdisciplinary and academia-industry collaborations will be emphasized.

The conference will be organized in the Palais des Congrès, a centrally located convention centre just a few minutes from downtown.
The convention centre is located on the banks of the Meuse river and is surrounded by a majestic park.
Just recently renovated, the convention center combines modern comfort and specialized hi-tech facilities. The centre is spread over three levels, and is host to over twenty multi-purpose convention rooms, the largest of which has a capacity of one thousand people.
Visitors will have a large choice of hotels within walking distance or easily reachable by the well developed public transport in Liege.
