The Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement Conference
"CPOD 2018"
September 24 - 28, 2018
 
Under the Auspices of the: 
  European Institute for Sciences and their Applications (EISA)
  National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA)
  National Technical University of Athens (NTUA)
  Municipality of Corfu
Motivation: 
  The “CPOD2018: Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement” Conference, 12th in the series, will take place September 24-28, 2018, at Mon-Repos, Corfu Island, Greece. The European Institute for Sciences and their Applications (EISA), the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) and the National and Technical University of Athens (NTUA) will co-host this international event. The purpose of the CPOD conference series is to discuss theoretical and experimental progress in studies of the QCD phase diagram and the properties of strongly interacting matter.
Scientific Topics: 
 
.Deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration .Lattice QCD matter
.Critical point of strongly interacting matter .New results from SIS, SPS, RHIC and LHC
.Strongly interacting matter in the crossover regime .Novel experimental techniques
.Hadronization and chemical freeze-out .Future facilities and experiments beyond 2020
.Dynamical phenomena in QCD matter  
Invited Talks: 
 
MAGIC role of the EoS and the phase structure of dense baryon Matter in Astrophysics, Gravitation H. Stöcker (Darmstadt,GSI)
QCD phase diagram from lattice QCD S. Mukherjee (Brookhaven Natl. Lab.)
Fluid dynamical phenomena in QGP and its recent experimental signatures L. Csernai (Bergen U.)
