The Program
The detailed final programme will be available 10 days before the conference. As an orientation please consult the 2008 conference Template-Esquise or programme schedule to get an
impression how the conference is organized on the daily basis (or ask the organizers if you have any special question) . Most arrivals/ departures are on Saturdays and full working days are Sunday
through Friday (6 days) with an excursion to Dubrovnik planned on Tuesday afternoon-evening.
The Scope of the 5th Conference
|
Following the success of our first three conferences in this series, the 5th conference will continue the cross-disciplinary approach toward the emerging understanding of the living matter, which
given its enormous complexity may require some of the techniques and approaches elaborated in solid state physics or contemporary bio-sciences. The interdisciplinary discussion of carefully selected
leading experts in solid state, soft-matter and bio-sciences will take place in a relaxed yet rigorous, stimulating setting. |
|
Especially we feel a close relation with specialists in nanoscience whose expertise is at the length-scales of biological structures. New techniques, new approaches to living matter are also the
subject of the conference. The Mediterranean atmosphere at the Adriatic coast gives a convivial background for interdisciplinary experiences.

The 2010 Pierre-Gilles de Gennes Prize
The spirit of the conference is the best illustrated by the life-work of Nobel laureate, late Pierre-Gilles de Gennes who was the member of the Advisory Committee and himself a participant in
2006.
In his memory, and with a support of his family and the EPFL, we have established a prize which carries his name for outstanding young scientists in biophysics, with an initial background in
condensed matter - please see the attached 2008 award and prize description.
