Conference overview

This conference aims at connecting young researchers from diverse backgrounds at the interface between the physics of complex systems and biology, to build networks and new collaborations both across fields and between theoreticians and experimentalists. The talks will span a variety of topics from soft matter to biology and statistical physics.

As the conference is aimed at early-career researchers, we strongly support applications from PhD students, postdocs and early-career permanent researchers.
Since we are aware of the financial difficulties faced by young researchers, participants that are accepted for poster presentations will have the opportunity to apply to a travel grant. We will notably support environmentally friendly travelling options within our financial capabilities.
