The topics that will be covered in the conference are:

• Ferritic, martensitic, and austenitic steels as well as Nickel base alloys for high temperature steam power plants
• Coatings for protection against fire-side and steam-side
  corrosion in steam power plants
• High performance Nickel base alloys for gas turbines
• Innovative thermal barrier coatings for high efficiency gas
  turbines
• Membrane materials for CO2 - separation in zero emission
  power plants
• Materials for nuclear fusion reactors and advanced nuclear
  fission power plants
• Materials issues for alternative power plant processes
  (IGCC, Oxyfuel) as well as for combustion of low grade
  fuels, biomass and waste
• Production of components, including casting, hot and cold
  working, heat treatment and welding
• Novel materials (intermetallics, composites) and processes
  for energy conversion
• Cross cutting topics in research on high temperature
  materials, especially:
  - High temperature corrosion
  - Thermomechanical fatigue
  - Modeling and lifetime prediction tools

Following the well established format of previous Liège conferences, a series of review papers will describe the European materials developments carried out in the COST Actions 536 and 538. Invited lectures by internationally recognized experts will present the status within the other topics mentioned above. Sessions concerning new energy technologies and materials perspectives for the next decade
are planned. Contributions on all issues to be presented at the conference are welcome. They will be presented in the form of posters combined with reviewed proceedings.
