Dear Colleagues,

after the previous three successful editions in 2014, 2016 and 2018, we are happy to announce the fourth edition of Italian Soft Days, which will be held in Bari on September 24 and 25, 2020. Additional information is available through our website (https://sites.google.com/site/italiansoftdays). We kindly ask you to keep note of these dates and to do your best to participate and support the Italian Soft Matter community in Italy and abroad.

The conference will start in the late morning of Thursday 24 and it will end in the afternoon of Friday 25 September 2020.

Most of the features of the previous three editions, such as devoting particular attention to young researchers and granting free registration to everyone, will remain. There will be 6 regular sessions and each of them will start with a keynote or an invited speaker. It is particularly important to us that Italian scientists working abroad in Soft Matter related topics participate in order to build and strengthen the connections. Please help us spread the word among your collaborators.

Registration and abstract submission will be open from January 27 until March 20 2020.

Thank you very much for your interest, and we look forward to seeing you in Bari.

Best regards,
