The title of the forthcoming edition of the Sitges Conference will be "Nonequilibrium Phenomena: from Quantum to Macroscopic Scales”. In this meeting we aim to stimulate discussion on out-of-equilibrium systems at different scales, encouraging a multidisciplinary vision within the framework of statistical mechanics. With the participation of leading researchers working on cutting-edge topics, we will focus on new methods for the description of nonequilibrium effects in diverse situations of relevance for the community. With the organization of this Conference, we will provide a unique opportunity to exchange points of view, to promote contacts and new collaborations, and to create a forum for debate that can help us to give answers to the many open questions in this vast domain of current research. We are pleased to announce the following list of Confirmed Plenary Speakers: Janet Anders (University of Exeter) Eli Barkai (Bar-Ilan University) Clemens Bechinger (Universität Konstanz) Pierre Gaspard (Université libre de Bruxelles) Peter Hänggi (Universität Augsburg) Christopher Jarzynski (University of Maryland) Jukka Pekola (Aalto University) Julia Yeomans (University of Oxford) The list of plenary and invited contributors will be periodically updated in the conference web-page: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://sites.google.com/fmc.ub.edu/sitges-conference__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!Q7AKPSDn4cJTrP-e7Y4bg8tfgnHEO9nEIGcdUDOfXa_PCbO1wPyKijw1-WQUPNWSQVXh57rrSOUYdMf35a138ZUqabA$ . Important Dates: Abstract submission deadline 13 March 2022 Announcement of acceptance of abstracts 7 April 2022 Early registration fee payment 14 April 2022 Final program communication 28 April 2022 You can register and see the outline structure of this and previous conferences at the web-site https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://sites.google.com/fmc.ub.edu/sitges-conference__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!Q7AKPSDn4cJTrP-e7Y4bg8tfgnHEO9nEIGcdUDOfXa_PCbO1wPyKijw1-WQUPNWSQVXh57rrSOUYdMf35a138ZUqabA$ , which will be updated and completed as the Conference planning proceeds. If you are interested in presenting a talk or a poster communication, please indicate so in your registration and submit a single page abstract following the instructions that can be found in the web page. We would be very grateful if you could circulate the conference notice to your colleagues, post-docs, and Ph.D. students, and encourage them to submit talks and/or posters. We are looking forward to seeing you in Sitges! The Organizing Committee of the XXVII Sitges Conference Giancarlo Franzese Ivan Latella David Reguera J. Miguel Rubi
