Anisotropic Particles

Tailoring Shape, Interactions and Structures

From September 25th to 28th 2018 the collaborative research center SFB1214 organizes an international symposium with the topic Anisotropic Particles: Tayloring Shape, Interactions and Structures.

The 4-day symposium will be held at the University of Konstanz, located just outside of the city. Oral presentations and postersessions give stage to a variaty of discussions.

The symposium gives chance to present and discuss the latest results in research of anisotropic particles. Besides a multitude of oral presentations there are also two poster sessions, offering potential to present results in individual discussions.

Proposals for contributed talks and posters are welcome. Especially early career scientists are encouraged to apply.

Besides the scientific program there are offers for joint meals, coffee breaks as well as the opportunity to learn more about the city of Konstanz.

The registration fee includes snacks during coffee breaks, lunch (2 times), a dinner and the conference dinner.
