Summer 2024 Research Meeting

MSILDG research meetings are historically informal, interesting, informative and inspiring. 


The  Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids Discussion Group  (MSILDG) will hold their annual Summer Research Meeting jointly organised by the MSILDG and the Queen's University Ionic Liquid Laboratories (QUILL) Research Centre at Queen's University Belfast (QUB), Northern Ireland, on 2nd - 3rd September, 2024.


The conference is in recognition of 25 years of the QUILL Research Centre, and will celebrate the scientific advancements and applied technologies in the areas of ionic liquids, including but not limited to: ionic liquids, molten salts, eutectic solvents and other advanced liquid media. Talks and posters on any applications of broadly defined ionic fluids are welcome, from longstanding friends and collaborators of MSILDG and QUILL, as well as new and early career researchers from related communities and disciplines.


**We are very pleased to announce that RSC Sustainability will publish a QUILL25-MSILDG Special Issue! All presenters (talks and posters) will be invited to contribute a manuscript, subject to a regular review process by the journal, with 15 February 2025 submission deadline**
