Welcome to the web page of the the Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics Early Career Scientist Symposium. The Symposium will take place on November 17th 2021 between 2-5 pm (UK time) and it is organized by the Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry. This is an online event.

SMTG -ECSS will feature the lecture of Dr Davide Michieletto, who has been awarded the 2021 SMTG Early Career Scientist Prize, as well as a number of exciting talks by early career researchers. Full details of the programme are given below:
