(Tue.) 18th, Scientific session, Banquet for all participants
(Wed.) 19th, Excursion

Place: Arcrea Himeji, Japan

Scope:
Soft matter interfaces, such as polymers and biomolecules on metals and ceramics, show dynamic characteristics that change with environmental conditions. These “soft interfaces” present challenges for quantitative analysis. This symposium promotes research, supports young researchers, and fosters networks with nearby countries, including Taiwan, to advance this field.

Invited speakers:
1. Shyh-Chyang Luo (National Taiwan University)
2. Wei-Bor Tsai (National Taiwan University)
3. Kevin C.-W. WU (National Taiwan University)
