Highlight: 8th Joint European Thermodynamics Conference

This issue of the Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics gathers some of the invited contributions to the 8th Joint European Thermodynamics Conference (JETC8), hold at the Autonomous University of Barcelona on 2–5 September 2003. The series of Joint European Thermodynamics Conferences (JETC) has been biennially organised by the CERET/ECAST (Centre Européen pour la Réflexion et l’Étude sur la Thermodynamique/European Centre for Advanced Studies in Thermodynamics) in collaboration with universities and other research institutions starting in 1989 with UTC-Compiègne and arriving to this, the eighth in this series. Between 1989 and 2001 the JETCs have been moved through Lausanne (EPFL 1991), Bruxelles (ULB 1993), Nancy (Institut Polytechnique de Lorraine and Poincaré University 1995), Toulouse (Paul Sabatier University 1997), Carry le Rouet (IUTI and CTM-CNRS, Marseille 1999), and finally Mons (University of Mons-Hainaut 2001).
