More details about LCM2023

LCM2023 is the 11th edition of LCM Conferences. The previous editions were held in Germany, Poland, Luxembourg, France (Bordeaux), Sweden, South Africa, Switzerland, and Spain. These conferences have received around 700-1000 attendees.

The LCM 2023 will be held at Lille Grand Palais, an iconic 45 000 m2 event complex in the Lille Metropolis near the city centre and the main train stations. Specific rooms will be chosen for plenary and parallel conference sessions, stands, posters, and networking!

It is the first time that such a conference will be organised in the Flanders region.

Save the date : LCM2023 will be on the 6, 7, and 8 September 2023!

Each day, our participants will specially prepare one plenary, parallel sessions, and an evening event. Thus, a call for sessions will be the basis to define the thematic of the conference!

We look forward to welcoming you in the lovely city of Lille!
