The New
Materials and Complexity conference will provide an international
forum for detailed discussion of emerging areas associated with the
inter-disciplinary study of new advanced materials and complex
systems.
The meeting
is intended to instigate a long-term dialogue between Italian and
Australian scientists working in the areas of complex materials and
systems.
Selected
lectures will be published in a special issue of Physica A
We are
particularly keen to expose younger Australian and Italian
researchers to this exciting interdisciplinary area of research.
It is our
intention to provide a relaxed informal atmosphere to enhance
discussion across the boundaries of the Mathematics, Physics,
Chemistry, Engineering, Geology and Biology.
The meeting
will provide a forum for dissemination of advanced computataional
techniques for materials, including the outcomes of the APAC-funded
supercomputer Expert Program "Mesoscale Physics".
Ample time
will be provided for in-depth informal discussion as well as seminar
and poster presentations. A number of plenary lectures will be
delivered by eminent scientists.
A special
session, freely open to the general public, will be held on the topic
of "Science at the Beach".
The
conference will open in Canberra at the well-known Shine Dome, Australian Academy of Science (Monday Noember 3,
9.00 am), before moving to the beautiful location of the Australian National University's field station at
Kioloa on
the south coast of NSW. Transport to and from Canberra will be
arranged, leaving Canberra after the opening session on Monday
morning November 3 and returning to Canberra Saturday morning,
November 8. Atttendees are welcome and encouraged to stay on over the
weekend at Kioloa after formal sessions are over if they can arrange
their own return (assistance will be offered where possible).
Travel:
Travel to
the conference is simplest if attendees arrive in Canberra before
Monday morning, November 3. Canberra is readily accessible by air,
road or train. Alternatively, late arrivals can travel directly to
Kioloa. A regular bus service runs between Sydney and Termeil (the
nearest stop; 15 minutes drive from Kioloa) from where attendees will
be collected. Bus schedules can be found here or here.
Set in
coastal eucalypt woodland, with unspoiled beach frontage the new
facilities at Kioloa provide an outstanding forum for scientific
discourse. The local organisers, Applied Mathematics, ANU, have held a number of annual meetings
there and it is an excellent, relaxed environment, conducive to open
scientific discussion.
ýincludes all meals and accommodation from Lunch, Nov3
til Breakfast Nov 8, plus transport Canberra, Kioloa, Canberra.
After October 3, an additional charge
of $200 will apply.

postgraduate assistance
*Financial
support, including travel to Canberra from home institution, will be
offered to interested PhD students and postgrads from within
Australia and Italy, subject to demand. For more information, please
