PHASME 2016: Summer School on Physics and Mechanics of Soft Complex Materials

Print version of this article

01/10/2015

We are pleased to announce that the International Summer School on Physics and Mechanics of Soft Complex Materials (PHASME, August 8-20, 2016, Cargese, France) is open for application.

This 10-day school aims at the formation of students and researchers with a double culture in physics and mechanics. It covers a variety of modern topics ranging from material failure, non-linear mechanics and instabilities, to complex and network materials. The courses are designed for a wide audience starting from the beginner level and finishing with high-end tools directly related to state-of-the-art research.

Leading international experts will present the latest results on both theoretical and methodological aspects relevant to Soft Complex Materials, with a special emphasis on intercultural perspective. Interventions of professionals from the industry are foreseen to complement this scientific core and to emphasize the proximity of these topics with real-world questions. Poster sessions will provide a natural interface between students and teachers.

Cargese is a small village on the shore in Corsica, the so-called the “Island of beauty”, and the conference center is a short walk away from the beach, allowing to interlace classes and relax time. It is thus the perfect place to learn and debate in a stress-free environment.
