Trends in Continuum Physics (acronym TRECOP) is the name of the scientific branch that concerns and focuses itself around many physical problems which can be described by continuum models. Special emphasis is placed on the representation of various concepts applied to different physical fields interacting with each other. Special stress is put on the mechanical side of the investigations made within TRECOP.The scope of the TRECOP includes fundamentals of continuum physics, new trends in thermodynamics and in electrodynamics, physics of materials (encompassing defective crystals, ferroic crystals, liquid crystals, molecular crystals, high-temperature superconductors, semiconductors, plasma, polymers, amorphous media, smart materials, and anomalous material phenomena (such as auxetics, negative thermal expansion and other negative ones in materials)), biophysics, biomedical mechanics, multiphase systems, and multiscale also nanoscale problems. These fields have been developing fast in recent years. So TRECOP as itself can be treated as an young branch of research.The Trends in Continuum Physics as the scientific branch was born and then was developed by international symposia which had the same name. The idea to organize those meetings comes from three persons:
