The New England Complex Fluids encourages worldwide collaboration among researchers from industry and academe studying Soft Condensed Matter. Quarterly workshops offer opportunities for discussion and exchange of ideas.

Our goal is to encourage collaboration among researchers from industry and academe in the New England area studying Soft Condensed Matter. We hold one day workshops four times a year which offer the opportunity for discussion and exchange of ideas. An additional objective of our meetings is to help the career development of students and postdocs by introducing them to the local academic and industrial research community.

The workshops are engaging and very informative; note the following dates into your calendar.
