The conference aims at covering fundamental and applied advances in the fields of Interfaces, Dispersed systems, Complex fluids, Micro- and nano-engineered materials with all kinds of elementary naturally occurring or synthesized building-bricks: surfactants, polymers, proteins, particles. http://www.ecis2015.org/ Abstracts Submission Deadline: April 15,2015

This school is mainly dedicated to young scientists (PhD students, postdocs and young researchers) but is also open to all audience. It is focused on the design of materials with interesting properties and functions elaborated on the basis of soft matter. It will therefore focus on the elaboration techniques and recipes and also on the characterizing techniques as Ray-scattering. It will include emulsions, capsules, liposomes...
