Okinawa Colloids 2026 is an international conference on colloid and surface science, held in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry (DCSC) of The Chemical Society of Japan (CSJ), established in 1976. The event will take place at Bankoku Shinryokan in Nago City, Okinawa.

You can become a member by joining one of the two groups:
SCI Colloid & Surface Chemistry Group (CSCG). http://www.soci.org/Membership-and-Networks/Technical-Groups/Colloid-and-Surface-Chemistry-Group
RSC Colloid & Interface Science Group (CISG). http://www.rsc.org/membership/networking/InterestGroups/colloidscience/
The former is open to SCI members only. The latter is open both to RSC members and associates AND to scientists and engineers who belong, either, to a chartered professional or learned body from outside the chemical sciences, or to another chemical society with whom the RSC has entered into an international partnership agreement approved by RSC Council.
