Hydrodynamic Approaches to Active Matter: Successes and Future Challenges
International Workshop
09 - 13 November 2026
On the occasion of John Toner’s 71st birthday, this workshop will bring researchers from soft, hard, and active matter physics together to survey the latest advances. A particular focus will be on the hydrodynamic and universal behaviour that emerge in these subfields of condensed matter physics in honour of John’s contributions to these areas.
Topics include
- Active matter
- Soft condensed matter
- Hydrodynamics
- Universal behaviour
- Renormalization group
- Biological physics
