SOFTMAT CONTROL WINTER SCHOOL
Saarbrücken 2014
The physics departements of the universities of Rennes (France), Posnan (Poland), and Saarbrücken (Germany) organize together a trinational winter school for undergraduate and graduate students. SOFTMAT CONTROL (Soft Matter - evolution, control of complexity and challenges) is granted by the european ERASMUS intensive program for 3 years.
After Posnan and Rennes, the last edition of the Softmat Control intensive programme will take place at the University of Saarbrücken, from february 17th to 28th 2014.
