11th International Conference
Engineering of Chemical Complexity (ECC11)
July 29 - August 1, 2025, Tokyo

co-hosted by
Active Matter Core-to-Core Project

The aim of this conference is to review and discuss the most recent scientific breakthroughs and findings in complex systems research with a particular emphasis on complex chemical systems and their relation to self-organization in biology and physics. Both theoretical and experimental aspects are considered. The conference will include plenary lectures, symposia with invited and contributed talks, and poster sessions. The conference will cover the entire topical range of this field, including recent trends in active matter physics. It will serve as a forum for interdisciplinary exchange, where expert leaders as well as junior scientists meet and discuss the latest developments in this field.
