The latest rendition of the POSMOL conference, being comprised of the 20th International Workshop on Low-energy Positron and Positronium Physics and the 21st International Symposium on Electron–Molecule Collisions and Swarms, was successfully held at the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences, Belgrade, from July 18th to 20th 2019. Immediately thereafter, a one day workshop in honour of Professor Zoran Lj. Petrovi´c, to acknowledge his many scientific contributions over a very distinguished career and to celebrate his retirement, was also held. This topical issue showcases contributions that encompass original research papers and topical reviews, on themes consistent with both POSMOL and the Workshop, as well as further contributions from the wider POSMOL community.

1 Summary POSMOL 2019 was held in the lovely city of Belgrade, Serbia, from July 18th to 20th 2019. This was followed by a one day workshop that acknowledged and honoured the many scientific achievements of Professor Zoran Lj. Petrovi´c, on the occasion of his retirement. A total of 153 delegates attended the meeting, making it one of the largest of the official satellites of ICPEAC.1 Considering the gender of the participants, we find that there were 37 female and 116 male delegates, and of those 42 people were PhD students with 111 delegates being regular participants. The program of POSMOL 2019 consisted of plenary lectures, invited talks, hot topic talks and posters, with a selection of that work, and from submissions from the wider POSMOL family, forming the basis of the present topical issue [1–24]. This topical issue contains contributions from all the elements that comprise the POSMOL community, namely ?
