This conference is the seventh in a series which began in 1992 in Santa Barbara, USA. Leading world experts in boiling heat transfer have attended each event. The last such conference was held in Spoleto-Italy in 2006, and researchers from twenty countries participated.

The presence of specialists from academia and industry will provide a unique opportunity to promote collaborations for the development of new advanced experimental and theoretical techniques and to gain further in-depth knowledge on boiling heat transfer and its applications. Contributions from industry are particularly welcome.

i. To provide a forum for leading researchers and practitioners to engage in collaborative and contemplative debate on contemporary issues governing the state-of-the-art in boiling heat transfer.

ii. To present and discuss recent experimental, theoretical and numerical results regarding boiling phenomena that will advance the current knowledge base.

iii. To explore phenomenological models with a view to applying the current knowledge base to emerging applications.
