Registration Open for “WPI-SKCM² Symposium for Young Scientists in Europe”: A Conference in Wroclaw and Online

We are thrilled to announce that registration is now open for the WPI-SKCM² Symposium for Young Scientists in Europe!  This symposium will bring together young researchers with an interest in knots and chirality, offering them a unique opportunity to explore a new interdisciplinary and fundamental research paradigm that interlinks these areas.  

The keynote speaker will be Dr. Pawel Pieranski from the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides at Université Paris Sud. Dr. Pieranski has been a pioneer in the field of liquid crystals, contributing to many areas and authoring a comprehensive two-volume textbook on the subject. 

The symposium will also feature presentations by invited speakers: Dr. Silvia Vignolini from the University of Cambridge, Dr. Hikaru Yabuta, and Dr. Andrey Leonov, both from Hiroshima University.  There will also be an overview session introducing the missions and opportunities at WPI-SKCM², a Q&A panel discussion, light lunch, and the event will conclude with a poster session. The venue is the beautiful Baroque music hall, Oratorium Marianum, within the main building at the University of Wroclaw, Poland.  Limited travel funds are also available.
