Preface: Iontronics: from fundamentals to ion-controlled devices

Funding

The organisation of this meeting would not have been possible without the expert help of staff at the Royal Society of Chemistry, and we would like to thank Stuart Govan, Heather Montgomery, Claire Springett, Irene Sanchez Molina, and Catherine Au. The Chairs, Serge Lemay and Sanli Faez, had excellent support from the Scientific Committee: Susan Perkin, Monica Olivera de la Cruz, and René van Roij. The session chairs were largely taken from the committee, with additional help from Linda Young gratefully acknowledged. The all-important opening and closing lectures were beautifully delivered by Yan Levin and Lydéric Bocquet, respectively. We thank the poster prize committee, René van Roij and Frédéric Kanoufi for selecting the winners (Anna Drummond Young and Dominik Duleba) among the many excellent posters. Most importantly, we sincerely thank all speakers and participants for making this such an exciting and stimulating meeting. Thank you.
