Dear colleagues,
Following the first Dynasoft 2008 and 2010 schools, held in August 2008 and August 2010 in Cargèse (Corsica, France), we are pleased to announce the Summer School Soft-FIRE (July 29 – August 8, 2014). This school will this year stress on combining academic lectures and industrial talks.
The main topics of this school will be:
Soft matter physics
Soft chemistry
Microfluidics
Statistical physics in soft matter
Polymers for energy
Drug delivery
Polymer electronics
Technical methods
Biophysics, viruses
Colloids
The aim of the school is to train young researchers by presenting pedagogical lectures starting from basic knowledge and reaching state of the art research on a number of fast evolving questions. This school ambitions to promote informal discussions and interactions between researchers. It will give the opportunity to young researchers of developing a professional career perspective both in academics or in industry.
The school will be held at the Institut d'Etudes Scientifiques de Cargèse (I.E.S.C). The Institute is located near the village of Cargèse, a little village on the west coast of Corsica, 75 km north of Ajaccio. The I.E.S.C. provides a relaxing and enjoyable environment that optimizes fruitful scientific interactions. The institute is located close to the beach and at walking distance from Cargèse.
