The conference is devoted to research on molecular materials, i.e. liquid crystals, glass formers, molecular magnets and nanomagnets, molecular layered systems, polymers as well as biology-oriented and advanced materials for applications. Structure, dynamics, relaxation, magnetism, acoustics and other properties as probed by various experimental techniques and theoretical tools within a broad range of time- and length-scales will be discussed.
We plan 1 opening lecture (50 minutes), 3 keynote lectures (40 minutes), 19 invited talks (30 minutes), 15 oral presentations (20 minutes) - discussion included. A poster session will be also arranged.
The conference will be divided into the following sessions:
1. Soft matter and glass formers.
2. Molecular magnets and nanomagnets.
3. Multifunctional materials.
4. Surfaces and interfaces.
5. Miscellany (biologically oriented systems, new ideas, advanced methods,...).
