This workshop is organized in the context of our newly established center on "Multiscale Simulation Methods for Soft Matter Systems", which aims at bringing together two complementary areas, Applied Mathematics and Soft Matter Science, to tackle some of the most fundamental challenges of multiscale modelling. You can find more information on the vision and the activities of the center in our web page: trr146.de. Since women are underrepresented in both fields, the purpose of this workshop is to provide a platform where highly established female scientists and female junior researchers from both fields come together, get to know each other, and discuss their experiences. Of course, we also hope for fruitful and inspiring scientific discussions. We will be particularly interested to discuss innovative multiscale models, their analysis and numerical methods for soft materials, polymers or complex fluids, but models and techniques developed for other applications are welcome as well. Additionally some discussion panels and coaching sessions (New!) for promotion of women in science are planned.

There is no gender restriction for the audience, everybody is welcome :-). However, all the participants need to register.
