The project leader S. Kralj was the main organizer and the general chair of the 11th European Conference on Liquid Crystals held in Maribor (6 February - 11 February 2011. The event was held under the patronage of the President of the Republic of Slovenia Dr Danilo Türk. The conference was attended by about 250 researchers from the whole world. Important role in the realization of the conference was played by young researchers which were participating in this ARRS project.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 66516481The project leader S. Kralj was invited by Society of Experimental Physics (SEM) to organize two sections (the sections titles »Time Dependent Behavior of Liquid Crystals & Polymeric Mixtures I, II«) at the SEM XI International Congress & Exposition on Experimental & Applied Mechanics v Orlando, ZDA, June 2-5, 2008. These topics are investigated within this project. S. Kralj invited to the conference several young researchers of physics from Slovenia, who were together with the project members the only representatives from Slovenia.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 16066824Four young researchers supported by ARRS (Brigita Rožič, Marko Jagodič, Sašo Gyergyek, Marko Gosak) and the young researcher from industry (Matej Cvetko) collaborated in the project in 2008. In addition two students (Robert Repnik, Matej Forjan) of the Graduate study of physics-educational branch, University of Maribor. Among others, participation in the project enabled them to be in contact with the leading scientists in the field of soft matter physics. They are also coauthors in several publications.

F.02 Acquisition of new scientific knowledge
COBISS.SI-ID: 24415271Some contents of the project were included into content of subjects lectured at University of Maribor (subjects Modern physics, Physics of liquid crystals, Soft matter modeling, Complex mixtures) of and at Jožef Stefan International Postgraduate School (subjects Physics of liquid crystals, Soft materials). In addition the project members organized within the 11th European Conference on Liquid Crystals in Maribor for the first time educational section within several hot research topics in the field of liquid crystals were introduced to Slovenian middle school teachers.
