This symposium aims at bringing together scientists and engineers working in any of the many facets of soft condensed matter. Statics and dynamics, as well as equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium phenomena are all welcome. Similarly, we hope to have contributions in experiment, theory and simulation. Themes and systems of particular interest include granular matter, glasses and disordered systems, phase transitions, active matter, methodologies/techniques for probing soft matter structure and dynamics, liquid crystals and topological defects, mechanics of soft matter, emulsions, drops and hydrodynamic instabilities, and soft matter in external fields.
