Conference Topics

The conference covers all areas of thermodynamics.

Papers and Posters may cover all subjects, not necessarily within the topics of the Mini-Symposia.

Ten papers will be selected by the Scientific Committee during the conference and proposed for publication free of charge in a special issue of the journal Entropy.

Please notice that the labeling of the Mini Symposia has been changed with respect to early versions so that in the Conference Program the sequence of panel discussions is now alphabetic.

Topics of the 12 Mini-Symposia (invited panel discussions)
