Aim & Scope

In recent years complex systems have attracted the interest of researchers from many diverse disciplines such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, atmospheric science, social sciences, etc.   Many condensed matter systems, including soft matter,  exhibit complex behavior involving a broad range of length and time scales, and their dynamics can occur on times from sub-picoseconds to second or longer. For this reason, alongside laboratory techniques, synchrotron-based methods are powerful tools to extend their study and understanding over such wide spatial and temporal scales. Many questions about microstructure, dynamics, self-assembly, structural kinetics, relaxation and diffusion processes in bulk, at interfaces and in confined geometries, still remain open.

The aim of this user-dedicated meeting is to disseminate new results, to show advances made by users from different fields and exploring new directions in the study of the dynamics of complex systems by means of synchrotron techniques.
