For this 4th edition, we organize a meeting to stimulate discussions between different groups and laboratories working in the broad field of Soft Matter and Interfaces, including:

Machine learning in soft matter and polymer science

Active matter and biophysics

Complex Fluids and Interfaces

Soft materials and processes for industry: opportunities and challenges

One aim of the meeting is also to encourage students and researchers (Master, PhDs, Postdocs and others) to present their activities, providing an opportunity for scientific discussions and future collaborations.

The meeting will begin on June 25th and will finish on June 26th. It will take place at the faculty of Physics of the University of Strasbourg.

At the end of the meeting, Prizes for the best posters and presentations will be awarded: 2 Springer book vouchers of 150 euros by our sponsor European Physical Journal E,
