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
