Institut Charles Sadron News

We are delighted to announce that the third edition of the Strasbourg Soft Matter Meeting will take place in Strasbourg from June, 26th to 28th (2024). This year the ICS and ILM labs organize a meeting to stimulate discussions between different groups and laboratories working in the broad field of Complex Matter and Interfaces. The scope of this meeting will include  polymers, films, membranes, complex fluids, wetting, active matter, biophysics, colloids, nanoparticles, microfluidics, confinement, chirality and out of equilibrium phenomena.

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

We encourage all potential contributors  - and in particularly young researchers - to register (there will be no conference fees): https://strasoft2024.sciencesconf.org/registration and submit an abstract before April, 30th 2024 at https://strasoft2024.sciencesconf.org/.

The meeting will begin at 13:30 on 26th, June and will finish at 12:30 on 28th, June.

At the end of the meeting, 4 Prizes will be awarded: 2 Springer book vouchers of 150 euros by our sponsor European Physical Journal E, 2 prizes of 100 euros by our sponsor Soft Matter (RSC).

REGISTRATION & ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: April, 30th
