Interdisciplinary challenges in non-equilibrium physics: from soft to active, biological and complex matter

International Workshop
22 - 26 April 2024

Interdisciplinary challenges in non-equilibrium physics: from soft to active, biological and complex matter (IntCha24) is a workshop aimed at early career researchers to bring together novel ideas and diverse expertise to address complex physical and biological systems in an interdisciplinary manner, bridging the gaps between out-of-equilibrium physics and traditional soft matter, between theory and experiments, between simplified models and the intricacies of biological systems.

Topics include

Gels and polymers
Collective phenomena/ field theories
Cells and tissues
Stochastic thermodynamics
Nano/MicroFluidics
Beyond collective phenomena
Living polymers
Information in biology
Functionalized colloids
Topological active matter
Microorganisms
