The Institut Charles Gerhardt Montpellier is involved in the organization of the International Polymer Colloids Group (IPCG) to be held from June 22 to 27, 2025 in Sète.

The International Polymer Colloid Group (IPCG) was founded in 1972 as a forum for the exchange of ideas and emerging research activities for scientists and engineers from academia and industry who study or use polymer colloids. The congress will bring together researchers and experts from all over the world to discuss the latest advances in polymer colloid science, and promises a wealth of lectures and discussions on the innovations and challenges ahead.

The IPCG meeting is organized in the style of the Gordon Research Conferences. All oral presentations are one-hour invited talks, including questions and answers (no parallel sessions), but all participants are invited to submit posters.

A Graduate Research Seminar (GRS) will also be offered prior to the conference, from June 20 to 22, 2025. It is open to Masters and PhD students in the broad field of polymer colloids. At the GRS, senior researchers will give lectures on relevant topics in a didactic style, and participants will also be able to present their research in short oral presentations and posters.

The deadline for early registration is March 2, 2025.

The deadline for poster submission is April 25, 2025.

The registration deadline is May 12, 2025.
