Overview

This workshop aims to share and discuss cutting-edge simulation and data-driven technologies in the field of soft matter (including fluids, colloids, polymers, and active matter). In particular, we aim to provide networking opportunities for young researchers, and to serve as an exchange forum between the Soft Matter community in Japan and abroad, with a view to fostering future international collaborations.

The workshop is scheduled to take place on November 3 (Monday) in Kyoto. The program will feature invited lectures by four leading researchers in the field of Soft Matter,  including two international speakers.

Additionally, the workshop will facilitate information exchange among researchers through post-workshop discussions and a social event.
