Stochastic and multi-scaled behavior is a central issue for many different problems in the sciences.
The purpose of this conference is to bring together leading scientists from several disciplines
including biology, chemistry, complex fluids, material sciences and mathematics to exchange ideas and
to identify common themes and new frontiers of further research.
REGISTRATION FOR THE MEALS IS REQUIRED. (Speakers do not need to register.)
