Materials and Complexity VI

9-12 December 2008

 

This annual workshop brings together researchers and students working across a wide range of topics from the forefront of materials science research, encompassing several orders of magnitude in length scales and connecting the morphology of materials with their physical properties. The focus is on computational, theoretical and experimental work that spans these fields.

The following organisations have confirmed that they will support the workshop in 2008:
  • The Complex Open Systems Research Network (COSNet)
  • The Australian Research Network for Advanced Materials (ARNAM)

Students and Early Career Researchers are encouraged to attend and will receive a bursary.

This year's workshop follows a one-day meeting in Canberra to celebrate the formation of the Barry Ninham Chair of Natural Science.
