Preface of Special Issue EMLG-JMLG 2016 Edited by: Jannis Samios and Wolffram Schröer
The importance of the thorough understanding of condensed matter molecular systems (liquids, supercritical fluids etc..) in many fields of science and chemical-biochemical technology is indisputable even nowadays, despite the enormous scientific efforts made so far. Their especially interesting properties remain an attractive subject of systematic investigation (through specific experimental methods & sophisticated theoretical-computational approaches) for scientists and young researchers around the world. It is known that the European Molecular Liquids Group (EMLG) and the Japanese Molecular Liquids Group (JMLG) are interdisciplinary research groups, focusing on the molecular aspects of fluids in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. The EMLG was founded in 1982 and was joined by the JMLG in 1996. Annual meetings have been organized in an uninterrupted series since 1982 with varying focus in order to cooperate internationally and to coordinate research activities in the field. This Special Issue of the Journal of Molecular Liquids (JML) contains selected papers based on oral & poster contributions presented in the 34th EMLG/JMLG Annual Meeting 2016, held in Platanias-ChaniaCrete-Greece, Entitled: “Recent Progresses on the Experimental & TheoreticalComputational Techniques for the Study of Liquids and Supercritical Fluids: From Simple to Complex Systems” This annual meeting was organized by Prof. Dr. Jannis Samios (National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Department of Chemistry, Greece), along with his team, assisted essentially by Prof. Dr. Sotirios Xantheas (PNNL, USA) and Prof. Dr. Wolffram Schröer (University of Bremen, Germany). More than 130 scientists, PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, from more than 20 countries around the world (Europe, Japan, Asia, South and North America etc...), attended the conference and had the opportunity to discuss critically the new results and aspects presented and enjoy the landscape.

Having as a guideline all previous EMLG/JMLG meetings and conferences on the Physical Chemistry and Chemical Physics of molecular systems, this meeting tried to promote: a) the most recent scientific research activities and developments of the three areas of interest, namely experimental techniques, analytical theory and computer simulations, b) to report new results and advanced knowledge and finally, c) to foster scientific collaborations
In addition, the meeting covered a broad range of topics with emphasis on: - Liquids (pure and solutions) - Supercritical Fluids - Complex Liquid Systems
We would like to thank the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens-Greece (NKUA)-Department of Chemistry, the Organization of Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the Journal of Chemical Physics (J. Chem. Phys.), the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation (JCTC), the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) journal, the Schroedinger software corporation and the Greek pharmaceutical and chemical industry for financial support and funding. Each contribution to this special isue was refereed by two reviewers before publication and we would like to thank all of them for their expertise and time spent for reviewing. Finally, we would also like to thank the authors for their contributions in this issue. Jannis Samios Wolffram Schröer
